The New Challenge for Sealant Supplier - A Partnership with the Automotive Industry 960212
A new request from an engine designer led to an interesting partnership between a sealant supplier and the Automotive Industry. The target of this project was to achieve high quality and zero defects when using engine sealants. This was achieved through the symbiosis of the right adhesive, proper design and improved dispensing equipment. It was not a question of which kind of product would fulfill the requirements, but of working as a team to design the right criteria for using the best adhesive for this application. Using the example of a German automotive manufacturer, the experiences, mistakes, and results of this successful partnership approach will be illustrated.
