Design Flexibility in Automotive Interiors
Stay ahead, sign upGet the most important tools for great design — possibilities
The interior space is about much more than just making a great first impression. For OEMs, well-designed interiors are central to differentiation. For drivers and passengers, they are opportunities for new and more personalized experiences. That means optimizing every possible space in the interior for customer convenience and comfort. It means selecting materials that hold up, deliver plenty of options, perform in smaller, thinner spaces, enable lighter weight and above all look fantastic.
You’ll find a wide assortment of adhesives, tapes, fasteners and additives that can really open up the interior space to new possibilities.

Acrylic adhesives bond to a wide range of automotive interior substrates, from plastics and foams to a variety of metals. Pressure-sensitive adhesives bond instantly without curing, and with a different adhesive on each side these tapes are excellent for bonding dissimilar materials. A variety of release liners add strength and stability for laminating and die cutting.

Positive-locking blind fasteners do more than just replace screws, nails, snaps and rivets. They feature mushroom-shaped polyolefin stems that snap together for a high tensile closure, and can be mixed and matched for a variety of closure strengths. These fasteners are excellent for replaceable trim and screen applications.

Available in low- and high-temperature versions, our hot melts liquify to bond to a variety of substrates – even hard-to-bond surfaces like polyethylene, polypropylene and other plastics. These adhesives are fast, durable and versatile, excellent for small joint, mounting and trim attachment as well as large surface lamination for automotive interiors.

Designed specifically to bond to rough or highly irregular surfaces, our double-sided acrylic sealing tapes can create greater possibilities for placement of roof lining and impact pads, sunroof trim rings and head impact countermeasures. They are excellent for bonding wire harnesses in headliners and instrument panels.
Let's talk about interiors
