Primer or primer-free gluing – problems of adhesives in automotive industry

Abstract

The presented work aims at the comparison of physical and mechanical properties of commercially available black polyurethane adhesives designed for glass bonding in automotive industry and at the assessment of adhesive systems with primer. These adhesives require application and drying out of the appropriate polymer or a primer-free adhesive layer before bonding. UV stability is additionally measured in view of changing colours and mechanical properties.
