Adhesives and sealants used in the construction of automobile body shells are not only required to meet the stresses and strains encountered in every day use, but also to maintain structural integrity during a collision, in which the energy absorbing, controlled collapse of the motor body is designed to reduce deceleration, thereby protecting the passengers. Further demands are the needs to enhance the life of the vehicle by improved corrosion resistance, and reduce transmitted engine and road noise giving a smoother and quieter ride using materials that are safe and will not cause harm to the environment. This paper describes the use of vulcanizing rubber based adhesives and sealants and 'supertough' epoxy adhesives, developed in partnership with the automotive industry to meet these demands.
