Most major car and truck manufacturers in the world use epoxy because it offers a very

strong and durable bond for different kinds of dissimilar materials. Epoxy is a general
term that is used to define its key element, Epichlorohydrin, which is a compound that
produces a hard layer upon complete curing. This makes it highly resistant to cold or
high temperatures, humidity and moisture.

Anaerobic
Anaerobic adhesives contain monomer elements. They are specifically designed to
provide strong bonding catalyst for hard metals. Anaerobic adhesives and sealants are
used to tighten and seal fasteners and gaskets. They are also used to bond electrical
components. This type of adhesive is highly resistant to chemical substances such as
fuels, oils and hydraulic fuels.

Adhesives and sealants are further categorized into different types. They can be acrylic-
based, epoxy-based, urethane-based and others. The acrylic-based types are also
differentiated into elastomer-based, silicone-based, urethane-based and others.

Automotive coating solutions provide enhanced protection from environmental

aggressors such as rust, water, snow, and moisture. Consumers are rapidly
moving towards these products as they help in proper maintenance of vehicles
even after rough use. 

Automotive coatings are used to enhance the appearance and durability of a

vehicle, and to protect it from harsh weather and other external conditions
such as extreme temperature, UV radiation, and foreign particles such as stone
and other debris\

On the basis of types, automotive coatings and adhesives market is

segmented into four categories: Urethane-based automotive coatings and
adhesives, Epoxy-based automotive coatings and adhesives, Acrylic-based
automotive coatings and adhesives, and others. Automotive sealant is also
segmented into four types, namely Urethane-based automotive sealants,
Silicone-based automotive coatings and adhesives, Elastomer-based
automotive coatings and adhesives, and others.
