It has been projected that by 2025, in North America, 15% of the automotive body sheet content will be using aluminum substrates. This trend generates many challenges, including the need for the development of improved joining materials and techniques.
In particular, the importance of proper surface preparation and bonding adhesives is pivotal to support the manufactures light weighting initiatives. Henkel’s BONDERITE chrome free conversion coatings and TEROSON structural adhesives allow automotive manufactures to achieve outstanding long term structural integrity of aluminum joints.
