Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional adhesives used in the automobile industry, such as epoxy, urethane, polyisobutylene, and paraxylene, face limitations in high-temperature stability, thermal expansion stress absorption, humidity stability, solvent resistance, and cost, which restrict their application in electronic components of electric and hybrid cars.

Innovation Solution

An adhesive sheet with an acrylic resin composition containing alkyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxyl-containing monomers, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon ring-containing monomers, UV absorbers, and photopolymerization initiators, which provides excellent adhesion, light resistance, and elastic modulus without the need for a separate primer layer.
