Top Applications and Products in the Automotive Industry

Common Applications

  • Interior
    • Extruded Polymers - Used to create seals along doors, windows, and other openings, and use specially formulated adhesives to adhere without any of the stress points of mechanical fasteners.
    • Harnessing - Designed for curtailing, mounting, and securing groups of wires in interior construction
    • Hole Covering - Matte coated cloth tapes are ideal for covering e-coat drain/vent holes and sealing body seams.
    • Labeling - Durable, flexible, and forgery resistant labels for component marking, securing, and identification labeling.
  • Masking and Finishing
    • Crepe Masking - Hand tearable and easily removed, crepe masking conforms tight around corners allowing for less breakage and seepage.
    • Fine-Line Masking - Filmic masking tapes provide sharp, crisp, flawless paint lines when precise color separation is necessary or desired.
    • Masking Film - These high density, durable films are ideal for protecting against paint overspray.
    • Masking Paper - Masking papers can protect larger surfaces against paint bleed or oversprays of solvents or clear coats.
    • Silicone Masking - Used for masking surfaces during powder-coated painting.
  • Permanent Mounting
    • Double Coated Films - Filmic tapes specially designed for aiding in mounting headliners and fabrics, flooring, emblems, and more.
    • Double Coated Foam Mounting - Good for mounting and constructing interior emblems, dashboards, seat modules, and air bag components.
    • High Bond Foamed Acrylics - High shear adhesive ideal for permanent mounting of nameplates, logos, trim, glass, and seals.
  • Transport
    • Durable External Protection Mask - Durable temporary protection films prevent damage to valuable parts during the transportation to dealer process, and adhere to parts including paint and plastics.
    • Glass Protection Films - Specially formulated surface protection film designed to guard auto glass and mirrors against debris during transport.
    • Interior Surface Protection Films - Filmic protection tapes protect a wide range of finished surfaces, including plastics, textiles, glass, and painted surfaces.
Automotive
Automotive manufacturers increase productivity by utilizing pressure sensitive adhesive tapes on traverse wound rolls (spools). Budnick's die-cut masking products improve paint quality while reducing masking/de-masking time. Budnick has created products to reduce paint build up along break lines in two-tone painting. Break line build up requires costly sanding and re-work time.

First and second tier Automotive suppliers utilize Budnick's converting capabilities to provide body and fascia masking, polyester liners, extended liners, emblem and decal positioning templates, mirror attachment die-cuts, surface protection tapes, numerous fastening tapes, electronic component micro parts, squeak and rattle elimination tapes and thermal management products.
