Adhesives for Bodyshop & Paintshop
Beyond Assembly: Adhesive Technologies that Build a Competitive Edge in Vehicle Manufacturing
Overview
In automotive manufacturing, the technology that bonds the body and components goes beyond simple assembly. It is a critical factor that determines structural integrity, NVH* performance, and production efficiency.
Traditional mechanical fastening methods such as bolts and clips have limitations, including increased weight, process complexity, and lack of eco-friendliness.
LG Chem’s Adhesives for Bodyshop & Paintshop span the entire process from Bodyshop to Paintshop, offering next-generation bonding solutions that can replace conventional methods. This enables vehicle lightweighting, process simplification, improved noise and vibration performance, and improved manufacturing efficiency—all at once.
