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 the glass bonding in automotive industry and at the assessment of adhesive systems with a 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 a view of the changing colours and mechanical properties.
