Emblems
The decorative logo depicting the brand of car typically located on the front or rear of the vehicle.
Chrome treatments and accents
Cars with chrome treatments, primarily around the edges of the glass, are often assembled with Bostik adhesives.
Antenna sealing
Bostik SMP adhesives provide a weather seal around the location where the antenna is bonded, preventing water leakage.
Quarterlight window assembly modules
The quarterlights on the vehicle are often pre-assembled prior to installation with gaskets, attachments, and plastic molding. Bostik SMP is able to bond these components together while reducing the amount of processing time and equipment required with other adhesives.
Bostik's expertise extends to key automotive applications for tier suppliers, OEMs and the aftermarket.
