Nordson UV curing systems add value to several coating and adhesive applications for a wide range of automotive component and assembly operations.
- For automotive lighting applications, UV curing provides the added value of reliable, instant cure for all types of dispensed materials, including hot melt, PUR and cold glue, one-component and two-component silicone, and form-in-place gasketing.
- Headlamp systems are more scratch and chip resistant when a UV-curable hard coat is applied and cured on polycarbonate plastic lenses.
- Reflector housings for lights benefit from UV-curable primers that improve adhesion for the reflective surface operation. Then, application of a durable, UV-curable clearcoat keeps reflectors in pristine condition for significantly improved product performance.
- Interior plastic and vinyl parts are more durable and resistant to damage and deterioration when waterborne UV-curable coatings are applied.
- Body side moldings are more resilient to yellowing, fading and staining when UV-cured clear coats are used.
Many other automotive operations for body panels, tail lens, aluminum wheels and under hood components, also use UV curing to improve efficiencies and product performance.
