Smart adhesive solutions for functional glass

The rapid technical developments in functional glazing improve the comfort and safety of the driving experience. Trust our advanced adhesive solutions to keep pace with these changes in glass functionality, including switchable, illuminating ambient light, display and holographic HUD. Our range of optically clear adhesives (OCAs) for example help to build switchable and smart glass. Specialty automotive glass OCA sensure low-haze, anti-yellowing and ageing resistance and do not compromise the clarity or performance of functional glass.

Adhesive tapes for sealing of automotive glass

Our specialty double-sided tesa® ACXplus acrylic foam tapes create durable seals for the assembly of windows and sunroofs. These tapes are highly flexible and temperature- and UV-resistant, making them suitable for bonding soft rubber seals to primed glass or ceramic substrates. They are resistant to temperature variations, humidity, and UV, and maintain a reliable bond in temperatures as low as –40 °C.

Mounting of locator pins

Locator pin mounting with adhesive tapes is ideal for holding car windshields in position during assembly. This method eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, speeding up installation and reducing potential damage. The strong bonding of adhesive tapes ensures secure placement, enhancing precision and efficiency in automotive manufacturing processes. During the lifecycle of a car, the positioning pin shall not get off to prevent noise.

Sensor bracket mounting

While liquid glue is frequently used to prefix sensor brackets, the application process can be messy and waiting for the glue to dry can be time-consuming. However, using acrylic foam tape instead of liquid glue can improve efficiency in the assembly process. These adhesive tapes improve the ease and precision of application and provide a more consistent and rapid bond on primed automotive glass.

Surface protection for automotive glass

Ensure that automotive glass stays protected from abrasions or damage from installation through delivery. The tesa® line of protection tapes offer permanent or temporary protection to sensitive glass surfaces during the assembly, treatment, and transportation processes.
