From October 11-13, the IZB, Europe’s leading trade fair for automotive suppliers, will bring the automotive industry together in Wolfsburg – and the automotive experts of adhesive tape manufacturer Lohmann will also be there with their latest product solutions. As a long-standing partner of the international automotive industry, the company supports its customers worldwide with customized adhesive tape solutions and high-precision die-cuts.
IZB 2022 focuses on “future mobility.” With advancing digitalization and automation, this future is becoming increasingly electric – a development that also places higher demands on adhesive solutions that go beyond mere bonding. Lohmann offers the Multifunctional Tape portfolio for the various applications around electromobility and EV batteries. DuploCOLL® EC (Electrically Conductive) solutions are used for EMI shielding, bonding conductive materials or electrical connections in low-current applications. The DuploCOLL® IS (Electrically Insulating) range of foam and filmic adhesive tapes offer not only electrically insulating properties but also a damping and sealing function, thus providing protection during the lifetime of electronic devices. The thermally conductive adhesive tapes of the DuploCOLL® TC (Thermally Conductive) series are used for sensors that are required for autonomous driving, among other things. They ensure optimum thermal management and efficient connections to the battery’s cooling or heating element, for example.
Comfort is also more important than ever – the automotive industry sets demanding emission limits for materials and components in vehicle interiors. The double-sided pressure-sensitive tapes of the DuploCOLL® LE (Low Emission) range meet the OEMs’ high requirements for low VOC, fogging and odor values and comply with the defined limits for substances according to VDA 278. Thanks to low-emission adhesives, even large-area applications do not affect indoor air quality. The tapes are manufactured in an energy- and water-saving way using the 100% solvent-free TwinMelt® technology and are based on UV acrylates with enhanced adhesive performance. Reduced energy consumption in the production process also reduces the carbon footprint. No gas is required as an energy source in the entire manufacturing process, so there is increased security of supply for customers in the current situation. Another step towards more sustainable manufacturing: The tapes are equipped with recyclable liners.
