Gluing for automotive applications

Product overview
Automated glass bonding for windows, façade elements and industrial glass components using high-performance, single-pass silicone application. The process is designed for leak-free, uniform sealing along glass edges to ensure consistent aesthetic and mechanical performance.

Process and equipment
Processing uses computerised graphic support and dedicated software for window and façade element programming. Bonding operations are performed on precision automated lines and bonding machines with minimal tolerances to guarantee repeatable finishes for series and large orders.

Performance and materials
The bonded joint is invisible and transparent while delivering high mechanical resistance. Glass sensitivity to thermal expansion is considered in adhesive selection; options include silicone sealants, silane-modified polymer sealants (example: SMP 740 UV), or flexible adhesive tapes depending on the application.

Applications / Sectors

• Glass furniture
• Jewellery
• Spectacle and sunglass lenses
• Cosmetics industry
• Automotive (windshields and windows)
• Architecture (glass façades, windows, structural glass elements)

Energy and insulation benefits
Professional bonding with high-performance sealants and membranes reduces air and moisture infiltration, improving thermal insulation and lowering heating/cooling demand. Studies on façade installation show significant reductions in energy losses when proper sealing and membranes are applied.
