NVH/BPR Hybrid

Game changing SOUNSECURE™ Hybrid, single-solution for both NVH and BPR

SOUNSECURE™ Hybrid NVH Metal Reinforcement is a single-application material that delivers excellent strength, flex and sound dampening to automotive body panels.

It was first put into OEM production in November 2014 and is now embraced by progressive automakers because of its immediate benefits in both performance and to the bottom line.

• Reduce noise and vibration
• Increase dent resistance
• Robotically applied to cut time and cost
• Precisely formulated to provide needed strength without
  read-through
• Bite through full range of lubes to prevent shifting before entering bake

Body Panel Reinforcements

Pumpable, sprayable metal reinforcement reduces application time and material. UNISEAL custom-formulated reinforcements add rigidity and flex to body panels while simplifying the production process.

• Improve stiffness of steel and aluminum metal closure panels
• Can be extruded or sprayed with robotic application systems
• Excellent adhesion to “oily” automotive panels
• Outstanding wash-off resistance
• Sag and slump resistant

Typical Application

• Large body panels (roof, hood, deck, door)
• Lift gates
• Floor pans
• Pillars
• Aprons

Structural Adhesives

UNISEAL custom formulations provide greater design freedom to help manufacturers achieve significant weight reduction, lower emissions and improved fuel economy.

They deliver outstanding durability and will not compromise a vehicle’s structural integrity, comfort and safety.

• Replace mechanical fasteners and minimizes welds
• Strengthen parts to allow use of thinner gauge and lighter weight materials, such as aluminum alloys, magnesium and carbon fiber
• Impact resistant down to -40°C
• Long-term fatigue resistance
• Bond a wide variety of substrates, including “oily” surfaces
• Provide strong bonds to differing substrates
• High and low modulus range

Typical Application

• Roofs
• Hoods
• Decklids
• Door liners
• Body panels

Highly-Toughened Adhesives

Redesigned at a polymeric level to incorporate novel chemistries which result in higher strength and improved modulus, fundamental properties to achieving superior crash performance

• Deliver multiple performance, production and cost-saving benefits over mechanical joining
• Perform at high impact in temperatures as low as -40°C
• Reduce fatigue and failure around spot welds and fasteners
• Provide strong bonds to dissimilar substrates
• Seal to guard against corrosion
• Account for CLTE variance (alpha/delta), minimizing
  read-through and racking
• Excellent pumpability – won't clog lines
• Production friendly — apply at room temperature, no heating required, excellent wash-out resistance

Typical Application

• Weld bonding
• Hem flanges
• Floor pans
• Frame members
• Body panels

Anti-Flutter

Anti-flutter materials reduce noise, vibration and harshness

UNISEAL anti-flutter products provide optimal isolation of sheet metal components from inner reinforcements while improving manufacturing efficiency and quality.

• Custom formulations to fit your specific application requirements
• May be applied in “drops” or extrudes with various application tips or automated ejectors
• Expansion range from 0 to >1000%
• Excellent adhesion, even through stamping lubricants
• No read-through
• Uncured adhesive will not sag or slide
• Environmentally friendly – near zero VOCs, no heavy metals or other environmental contaminants
• PVC and non-PVC based products available

Typical Application

• Doors
• Hoods
• Trunk lids
• Roofs
• Body panels

BIW Sealants

Prevent corrosion and extend vehicle life by providing long-term protection against moisture and dust penetration on critical seams and body panels

• Compatible with entire range of coating technologies and substrates: E-coat, primer, topcoat, powdercoat
• Paintable while maintaining outstanding sealing performance
• Stable consistency for trouble-free application – won’t “sag or slump” before going into ovens
• Exceptional adhesion, dispensability
• Good thixotropy
• Low-density sealers reduce vehicle mass and improve fuel efficiency

Typical Application

• Wheelhouse seams
• Roof panels
• Hoods
• Doors
• Decklids
• Rear body panels
• Frame rails
• Rocker panels
• Floor pans
• Pillars and aprons
