Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) are becoming more common in vehicles across the world, and the market is expected to continue to grow. These systems include delicate components like cameras, lidar and radar, and must be adhered securely to the vehicle. H.B. Fuller’s solutions for smart vehicles are engineered to both meet and exceed those requirements and ensure that all components of ADAS systems stay securely in place.

Our portfolio of automotive adhesive solutions for smart vehicles offers outstanding performance for bonding critical electronic components across different assembly systems. We offer solutions for:

• Cameras
• Automotive Displays
• Mirror applications
• ECUs – Electronic Control Units

Brake systems operate under extreme heat, pressure, and chemical exposure, making high-performance bonding agents essential. H.B. Fuller provides advanced adhesives for brake pads and brake shoes that maintain strong adhesion despite rapid temperature swings, corrosive elements, and heavy mechanical stress, supporting both OEM and aftermarket needs. Cilbond® bonding agents meet stringent automotive standards and deliver reliable performance in some of the harshest operating conditions, from sub-zero temperatures to up to 750°C.

Our automotive exterior lighting adhesives are used on headlamps, tail lamps, and signal lamps on vehicles manufactured in the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific regions. At H.B. Fuller, we’re committed to advancing our exterior lighting solutions so OEMs and Tier 1’s have efficient manufacturing processes that produce high performing products. Our structural lamp bonding adhesives are based on 1K and 2K reactive urethane systems that provide various benefits and feature low VOC raw materials, fast time to leak test, high temperature resistance, and fast cure.

At H.B. Fuller, we provide adhesive and sealant solutions that deliver strong, durable bonds for automotive exterior trim that also meet demanding aesthetic and performance requirements. Our technologies ensure reliable adhesion across diverse materials and resist UV exposure, weathering, and temperature extremes, helping maintain appearance and long-term durability. We provide applications for:

• Engine Hoods
• Roof Ditch Moldings
• Spoiler attachments
• Product badging
• Sheet Molded Compound
• Boot Lid Assembly
• Rear Decorative Molding
• Side Molding
• Wheel Well Flairs and Insert Attachments
• Seam Sealing

Glass molding is central to modern vehicle design, combining aesthetics and function in windows and structural components. H.B. Fuller offers advanced adhesives for glass bonding and encapsulation, supporting precise molding across materials like glass, plastic, ceramic, and metal. These solutions streamline side window encapsulation and enable integration of electronic components, delivering versatility for both structural and design applications.

H.B. Fuller offers a full range of adhesive and sealant options for interior trim applications, including instrument panels, glove compartments, steering wheels, consoles, dashboards, foams and felts, seats, floors and more. Our broad range of high-performance reactive and thermoplastic hot melt, water-based, and solvent-based adhesives help address your leather, synthetic or composite bonding challenges.

H.B. Fuller offers advanced Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) solutions for the automotive industry that are designed to improve comfort, durability, and performance. Our adhesives and sealants help to dampen vibrations, reduce structural noise, and minimize harshness in interior and exterior applications.

H.B. Fuller provides a full range of adhesives and sealants for underbody applications, including chassis, powertrain, and the underbody coatings. Our solutions deliver durable bonding, reliable sealing, and protection in demanding underbody environments. Our technologies support chassis lightweighting and ensure powertrain integrity under heat and stress, and our Hydroarmor® coatings provide corrosion resistance, chip protection, and noise reduction, helping extend vehicle performance and longevity.

Water shields and weatherstrips keep dirt, dust, water and wind from entering a vehicle, and must be designed to be permanently flexible in all conditions, from the summer heat to winter cold. H.B. Fuller’s adhesives and sealants ensure that a vehicle’s water shields and weatherstrips will not only keep environmental elements out but also last a lifetime.
