With over 50 years of experience in the automotive industry – Adhezion, a brand of APPLIED Adhesives, is a trusted partner providing customized automotive adhesive solutions that include equipment, technology and expertise.
Decrease your installation time of primary vehicle systems with little to no surface preparations and reduce labor costs with APPLIED Adhesive’s technology-driven automotive adhesives. Our adhesives offer superior bonding properties in all major systems. From interior and acoustic to structural and powertrain, APPLIED’s technological solutions offer the hold you need to bond the most unique and challenging substrates.
You can rest assured that our automotive adhesives won’t sag or slump before going into ovens. Why? Our adhesives are paintable and bond well to a multitude of surfaces, while also providing long term resistance to various environmental conditions. APPLIED’s body in white bonding solutions improve vehicle safety and passenger comfort while enhancing the complex manufacturing process of multi-substrate frames.
Automotive manufacturers understand how using superior Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) damping materials can eliminate noise when applied inside the car body, such as the firewall, floor panels, trunk compartment panels, wheel arches, roof, doors, and hatches.
Requirements for comfort in the automobile’s interior are constantly increasing. These methods are ideally suited to suppress sound and work in conjunction with substrates for NVH applications.
Because the powertrain of an automobile covers all the components that generate power and transfer it to the road, finding the right solutions for every element is a non-negotiable. APPLIED has the technology and expertise to help you find customized adhesives for each component of the powertrain, including those of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) where the propulsion system consists of the battery, electric drive system, and control electronics.
As OEMs and Tiered suppliers drive the automotive industry’s future towards electric, APPLIED is broadening our technology portfolio for both electrification and autonomous driving, making us the go-to provider of adhesive solutions.
We have developed advanced thermal materials, adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings that offer effective bonding solutions OEMs and Tiered suppliers can implement in their manufacturing process to save time and money. As technology continues to progress, and new electric vehicle adhesive challenges arise, APPLIED is prepared to innovate and adapt.
The battery is the heart of any electric vehicle. As consumer demand for high-performing vehicles increases, increasing the performance of your EV battery is necessary to stay competitive. Our adhesives solutions meet the rigorous requirements of the EV industry, whether you’re looking to enhance structural integrity in battery pack and cell assembly, improve thermal management, or integrate your battery with the vehicle at large through chassis bonding, we have the adhesive you need for these specialized applications.
Our customized equipment solutions, which include true metering technology and real-time data tracking, will ensure efficient and cost effective adhesives application.
Newer requirements from OEMs and Tier 1s demand faster cure time, less fixturing time, and much more stringent environmental condition requirements. Our latest technologies focus on providing you with innovative solutions for multiple applications for glass, such as glass fixturing components, mirror bracket bonding, and interior and exterior applications.
We are the only provider that can give you cutting-edge adhesive solutions and technical expertise on delivery and automation dispense equipment. Our adhesive products are all manufactured in the U.S., eliminating any concerns for importing products from overseas. Work with APPLIED for a turnkey solution that combines adhesives, equipment, and services.
Our automotive adhesive solutions for exterior lighting, including headlamps, tail lamps, and signal lamps, allow OEMs and Tier 1s to run efficient manufacturing processes that produce high performing products.
We carry structural and non-structural lamp bonding adhesives and sealers, constructed of one-component and two-component reactive urethane systems and non-reactive sealing materials. These adhesives feature high-temperature resistance, low VOC materials, fast time to leak test and fast cure.
The flexible and durable water shield adhesive performs in all climates and temperatures, is malleable, and offers strong adherence to ensure no water, dirt, or debris will accumulate in the vehicle.
The water shield plays a critical role in preserving the vehicle’s interior by preventing water and dirt from getting through the access panels. Our specifically designed adhesives are dispensed around the perimeter of the water shield to keep the polyethylene flexible plastic sheets in the water shields in place, sealing out the elements.
From the cockpit to exterior badging, APPLIED’s technology delivers efficient, reliable and durable foamed-in-place gasketing. Gain gasketing application flexibility with our broad range of high-performance, one-part reactive and thermoplastic hot melts, along with our two-part adhesives systems.

APPLIED caters to all your automotive interior needs with technology and adhesives that look pleasing and are durable, helping you establish a reliable and streamlined process.
Our team of experts will work with you to find the best adhesive solution for laminating and bonding all interior components, including door panels, displays, dashboards, headliners, instrument panels, and seat trim. Our products include water-based, thermoplastic, and high-performance hot melt, and cyanoacrylate adhesives to resolve your synthetic, composite, or leather bonding challenges.
Increase automobile manufacturing speed and efficiency and improve the quality and safety of your products through an adhesive evaluation by our technical service team.
We can also help you manage adhesive overuse and underuse by making recommendations based on current product needs and avoid bottlenecks due to using the wrong glue or having inefficient adhesive equipment.
If you are considering a line of automobiles or a change in production processes, you can also work with APPLIED on a pilot automation testing process. With this capability, APPLIED simulates production line variables, allowing you to keep your lines running. Once a suitable solution is agreed upon, you can have confidence that a line demonstration will have minimal impact on your production.
