What do Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes have in common? They all contain state-of-the-art adhesive technology from RUDERER KLEBETECHNIK GmbH. The power and performance, the elegance and quality that characterize these premium vehicles are the result of state-of-the-art production technologies and the correct handling of composite materials. This is because lightweight construction can only succeed in reducing weight and ensuring stability at the same time by using ultra-modern bonding technologies. Neither movement, pressure, heat, cold nor chemicals are allowed to influence the adhesive strength. Every single component - whether in the body, the engine, the interior or the vehicle electronics - must be designed, produced and assembled in such a way that it contributes to the highest quality and safety of the vehicle. At RUDERER KLEBETECHNIK GmbH, automotive manufacturers can find professional, state-of-the-art industrial adhesives that can be integrated into any automated production process with short cycle times and the special requirements of the automotive industry. Maximum production efficiency combined with maximum product safety and quality, as well as maximum comfort and attractive designs - not only the best sports cars in the world benefit from this, but also those responsible for processes and quality in automotive series production.
Many different modern bonding applications and technologies are used in the automotive industry today. Whether components in the body, engine or interior or in vehicle electronics - every application in the automotive industry has its own special requirements and therefore needs a special adhesive. In lightweight construction, it is only through the use of adhesive bonding technology as a joining process that it is possible to reliably join a wide variety of materials together and guarantee requirements such as temperature and chemical resistance, vibration protection and protection against wear. Modern, efficient and sustainable adhesive solutions therefore not only improve the performance and safety of vehicles, but also ensure an attractive design. In the automotive industry, this invisible joining technology is a guarantee for long-term product quality and safety.
High-tech adhesives score points in material mix and lightweight construction
The unique formulations of RUDERER's construction and repair adhesives ensure perfect bonding results in almost all areas of application. The material mix of plastic, metal, leather, textiles, wood or fiber composites, such as carbon, which is typical of the automotive industry, presents joining technicians with major challenges time and again. Carbon is a popular material in motorsport and lightweight construction, for example, due to its enormous strength and very low weight. However, composite materials can only be joined securely and with low stress using high-performance adhesives. The wide range of special adhesives in RUDERER's product range is a good indicator of the variety of requirements that the industry places on the ultra-modern joining technology of bonding in relation to a wide range of materials and components. High-performance adhesives must not only be convincing in terms of design, but must also be able to adapt to the physical and mechanical properties of materials and be resistant to external influences such as moisture, temperature fluctuations or aggressive chemicals. An adhesive bond in lightweight construction must be immediately resilient and stable in the long term. Fast and high strength is a factor that determines efficient and therefore economical production in the automotive industry with its often very short cycle times and assembly processes.
Adhesives with the seal of speed and process reliability
Thanks to decades of close cooperation with automotive manufacturers and suppliers, RUDERER KLEBETECHNIK GmbH is very familiar with the high demands of the automotive sector. Because speed, precision and absolute reliability are precisely the aspects that determine every single bonding process, RUDERER's high-tech construction and repair adhesives guarantee short cycle times and high strength in all applications. This applies both to the reliable bonding of vehicle bodies and to the bonding of engine covers, interior fittings and all electronic components in series production and assembly. In motorsport, it is the high-performance two-component epoxy resin adhesives from RUDERER that have been used successfully for years.
The accelerated curing and extreme adhesive strength, as well as the high resistance to weathering, temperature fluctuations, shocks, noise and vibrations play a role in both small and large-area bonding and are real power arguments for the high-performance adhesives from RUDERER. In the automotive sector, they have already proven themselves many times over, e.g. when bonding door panels made of styrene copolymers, engine covers, sandwich elements with different top and core layers, convertible roofs, headliners, seat shells, dashboards, lamp housings, truck bodies, when bonding truck guide elements made of GRP or truck box bodies. High-strength, elastic and yet lightweight - with these adhesive properties, professional users achieve high-precision process results. The extensive RUDERER product range includes numerous special adhesives which, thanks to their high-quality formulations, accelerate bonding in industrial series production and make the process reliable.
High-performance thanks to high-tech adhesives for Ferrari, Lamborghini and Mercedes
Many automotive customers of RUDERER KLEBETECHNIK GmbH appreciate these advantages. For example, the high-performance structural adhesive technicoll® 9403 is the invisible bond of a safety-relevant component in the chassis of the Italian sports car Lamborghini Gallardo. Other car manufacturers rely on special 2C contact adhesives and 2C reactive adhesives from RUDERER for bonding convertible roofs and sports seats. These practical examples show that process and quality managers in adhesive bonding series production can achieve higher application speeds and productivity with high-performance adhesives without having to compromise on the highest quality and process reliability.
