Because of the complex 3d shape of an instrument panel, vacuum lamination is often

not possible, as the coverstock would be overstretched and destroyed. Hence, the
coverstock is composed of single parts to fit the complex shape. The adhesive is sprayed
on the plastic carrier and the woven or foam-backed cover is manually stretched onto PLEASE CONTACT US
the carrier and prefixed with a hot air gun. Therefore, sprayable adhesives are needed. to learn more about our portfolio for automotive interior lamination.

Carpet applications usually don’t require high bonding strength, and very often
maximum service temperature does not exceed 80°C. So non-reactive hot melts may
be the right choice. Only overhead applications or complex 3D forms require reactive
adhesives. Henkel offers both reactive and non-reactive adhesives that can help to PLEASE CONTACT US
accelerate and optimize the assembly processes and reduce total manufacturing cost. to learn more about our portfolio for automotive interior lamination.
