Mobility

Almost no business sector is changing as fast as the transportation and automotive industry. The European SEKISUI companies that focus on smart mobility solutions are at the forefront of this evolution. By continuously seeking optimal solutions as well as developing and innovating products with future requirements in mind, SEKISUI in Europe helps to shape the mobility of tomorrow.

The future of transportation starts now
SEKISUI has been supplying the European automotive industry since the 1980s. As a result, 76% of today’s cars in Europe are equipped with at least one of our many pioneering technologies for the mobility industry.

Our goal is not only to optimise passenger safety but also to make transportation as comfortable as possible for everyone – today and for generations to come. Therefore, SEKISUI in Europe supports customers with high-performance, lightweight materials and overall innovative, smart mobility solutions that focus on sustainability.

Automotive glazing

Enhancing safety and security in cars, PVB interlayer films like S-LEC™ are used in and laminated glasses for windshields, side door windows, and roof windows.

•    Safety – absorbs impacts to make glass shatterproof and prevent accidents.
•    Security – the films resist impacts from hammers or glass cutters.
•    UV-Blocking – S-LEC™ PVB Interlayer Films block out 99% of ultraviolet rays.

Oily surface tapes

To provide excellent adhesion to both flat and curved surfaces, our double-faced adhesive tapes are made from thin, non-woven fabric and coated with rubber adhesive.

•    These tapes provide a superior fit on curved surfaces and edges.
•    They also offer optimum adhesion to oily surfaces such as door locks or seat frames.

Coating materials

When precision painting of doors and bodies or rust protection for storage is required, Selvol™ polyvinyl alcohol offers an effective temporary coating solution

•    The material is easy to apply and compatible with a variety of coating technologies.
•    The concentration is adjustable and can be easily adapted to your individual needs.

Wire harnesses tape

For strong adhesion to olefin materials in wire harness applications, single-faced adhesive tapes composed of polyethylene cloth and a toluene-free acrylic provide a reliable solution.

•    Wire harness tape provides strong adhesion to olefin materials like PP and PE.
•    It offers excellent workability and is very easy to tear by hand.

Tapes for HVAC & Airducts

Double-faced, non-woven tape with ultra-low VOC emissions and strong adhesion across various automotive interior substrates.

•    Excellent adhesion to NVH, sealing and gasket parts, e.g. EPDM, PU & PE Foam.
•    Excellent adhesion to low surface-energy parts such as PP plastics.
•    Optimum repulsion resistance on curved surface.
•    High temperature and humidity resistance.

Foam Airducts & body protection panels

To provide reliable sealing against dust, water, and moisture, polyolefin foams like Alveolen are applied to air-ducts or body protection panels.

•    As air ducts: delivering warmth or cooling freshness to the desired location.
•    As body protection panels: protecting the vehicle from damage during assembly.

Underbody protection

Reliable underbody protection relies on high-performance polyolefin foams for flat or box absorbers like Alveocel.

  • provides sealing against dust, water, and moisture.
  • reduces driving noise and improves the vehicle’s acoustics..high temperature resistance.

Door panels & arm rests

Used in the form of soft armrests, instrument panels with a pleasant look & feel, and high-quality door panels, polyolefin foams like Alveolit enhance passenger comfort.

•    Soft, light, translucent and flexible foam with pleasant haptics.
•    Increased comfort and safety.
•    Products for demanding converting processes.

Glass run channel

Proper window sealing is crucial for maintaining the integrity of automotive interiors. Microspheric materials like Advancell offer a reliable solution for effective sealing

•    Lightweight material.
•    Consistent expansion for dependable foam.
•    Reduced use of other petrochemical components.

EV battery packs

For advanced thermal management in EV battery packs and power conversion applications, CGW thermal gap fillers and thermal adhesive systems that accommodate the ever-growing challenges in EV and CAM energy storage systems are used.

•    SEKISUI base formulations are adjustable to various mechanical requirements.
•    Outstanding battery performance, range, and lifetime.
•    High adaptability and design-to-cost efficiency to drive innovation further.

EV Inverter & Converter

Used for electronic components with high energy density, SEKISUI thermally conductive CGW gap filler materials connect critical components in EV powertrain applications.

•    Advanced thermal management for a high energy density in a small form factor.
•    Wide range of thermal performance levels with up to 6 W/mK thermal conductivity
•    High adaptability and design-to-cost efficiency to drive innovation further.

Vehicle Entertainment

Used for electronic components with high energy density, SEKISUI thermally conductive CGW gap filler materials support the lifetime of critical components

•    Advanced thermal management for a high energy density in a small form factor.
•    Wide range of thermal performance levels with up to 6 W/mK thermal conductivity
•    High adaptability and design-to-cost efficiency to drive innovation further.

Multi-layer ceramic capacitor

Applications like ceramic binders, special coating, or adhesives for microchips and electronic components rely on solutions like S-LEC® polyvinyl acetal resin. It offers:

•    Low particle,
•    superior performance, and
•    high heat stability and glass transition temperature.

Automotive displays – adhesives

Providing essential adhesive features in frames and panels for CID, HUD; interfaces, and control units, functional foam tapes from our 5200 series are used in automotive interior.

•    High adhesive strength and durability to absorb high impacts.
•    Bond well onto uneven surfaces, offering excellent water- and dustproofing.
•    Wide variety of thicknesses, suitable to various designs, even curved surfaces.

Automotive displays – resins

For bonding, sealing, and shielding in electronic and automotive applications such as HUD, CDI units, and control panels, adhesive resins like Photolec are essential.

•    Wide choice of curing modes – instant or delayed UV-, heat- or moisture curing.
•    Highest material quality: Low contamination, low outgas & halogen free grades.
•    Vast range of available characteristics matching various project requirements.

Gap control adhesives

For gap control in control units, intake manifolds, pressure sensors, smart glasses, head-up-displays or electrical systems, adhesives like our Micropearl product series are used.
