Automotive & Transportation

Trim and nameplate mounting, battery pack insulation, harness wrapping and thermal path building inside vehicles and rolling stock.

Typical tasks

  • Mounting trim, emblems and decorative panels with acrylic foam
  • Cell and module insulation, terminal protection and pack sealing
  • Harness wrapping, abrasion protection and anti-rattle
  • Thermal interface between power devices and heatsink or enclosure

Before we quote, we need

  • Assembly substrate pair and surface energy
  • Gap and tolerance to be filled
  • Vibration, temperature cycling and salt spray exposure
  • Annual volume and packaging format

Selection warnings

Warnings here are the failure modes we see most often in this industry, not disclaimers.

Automotive approval is a document, not a material property; the ordered lot must match the approval file.

Foam tape thickness must be chosen against the actual gap and thermal expansion, not the largest available number.

Low-surface-energy plastics such as PP/PE usually need a primer or a dedicated adhesive.
