Although bonding of plastic automobile components is not new, certainly numerous new demands are being placed on this process today than ever before.
Both new and different applications are being discovered for plastics, not only for the more traditional types, but also for newer modified plastics meeting current demands.
With increasing demands being placed on plastics for the passenger car market, now more than ever, processing requirements are critical. As larger body components from various plastics are being planned and evaluated for upcoming car lines, assembly bonding techniques have become critical.
From the history that has been generated by major plastic vehicle production, it is apparent that anything is possible, but the objective now is to find better, faster, and less costly bonding processes.
