Bonding solutions for electromobility

"Adhesive solutions, in particular for the increasing electronics content in vehicles, aren’t just used to connect, but also to perform thermal, electrical or other functions. For example they seal, dampen, cover and shield against light", explains Beatrice König-Platt, Lohmann’s Head of Transportation. 

Lohmann sees electromobility as a growing market for its adhesive solutions. In many areas, electric vehicles have their own special requirements compared to those required of combustion engine vehicles. Due to the low noise level of an electric vehicle at low speeds, NVH (noise-vibration-harshness) solutions are more in demand than ever before. Further, Lohmann multi-functional tapes support electromagnetic shielding of the growing number of electronic devices in a car - or enable smart grounding and bonding in electronic components. 

Lohmann says that its adhesive engineers have developed various thermally conductive solutions for the more effective heat management of LEDs, power transistors, heat sinks and circuit boards to name just a few. Lohmann is continuing to invest heavily in bespoke solutions for electromobility applications and has had its sizeable R&D department actively engaged on a variety of projects for some time.
