Application of polymer emulsion

Automotive textile

Aside from body style and engine performance, trim packages are what make the cars we love lovable. Stain-resistant carpets, custom floor mats and paneling are a big part of those trim packages. In fact, automotive textiles are a key part of the overall design of a vehicle and can be found not just in the cabin but throughout the vehicle. Some examples of automotive textiles are molded, nonwoven fabrics that provide an upscale finish in the trunk, hood liners that protect exterior paint and reduce noise, and stiffener panels that add strength and rigidity.

Ever wonder how carpets and upholstery can look new for so long – even after numerous spills of drinks and food? Thank chemists for the excellent water, oil and solvent resistance built into today’s automotive textiles. Many automotive textiles use high-tech coatings and binders formulated using styrene-butadiene and styrene-acrylic emulsion polymers to provide these performance characteristics.

The ability to customize polymer emulsions to a wide variety of applications is one of the attributes that make them so appealing to manufacturers. Hood liners, for example, are designed with high glass-transition-temperature (Tg) polymer emulsions to create a barrier for extremely hot temperatures coming off the engine block to protect the paint on the hood. The same type of high Tg polymers allow nonwoven fabrics to be custom formed to a trunk interior and retain the required shape to meet vehicle specifications set by the manufacturer.

About those underbody coatings

About the only thing most people know about underbody coatings is that new car dealers like to charge extra for them. Whether you go with factory underbody coatings or additional underbody coatings applied by the dealer, these are important coatings formulated with emulsion polymers that provide corrosion and chemical resistance to the metal components underneath the vehicle. With the different seasons and driving conditions throughout the year, vehicles are exposed to many destructive elements such as salt sprayed on the road ahead of a winter storm or chemical fluids used to keep engines performing in tip-top shape. These elements and others can cause the underbody of the vehicle to corrode.
