Manufacturing of Car Batteries

Adhesive has to meet complex demands in the manufacturing of car batteries. Thermoplastic PO hot melts which have been developed specially for this application provide substantial advantages over the use of two-component epoxies: high resistance to acids, highly efficient one-component processing, and excellent adhesion to the polypropylene case of the battery. In addition, they are optimally adapted to fully automated production processes with fast process cycles due to a long open time and a fast build-up of cohesion. Another benefit is provided by the formulation of the adhesive as PO hot melt and PP battery cases share the chemical basis, and can be recycled together.
