The automotive and transport industry (airplane, train, bus, tramway and metro) is constantly reviewing the requirements within the sector.
The manufacturers and the equipment makers are always looking for innovation and optimization, in order to:
- Increase bonding performances (even on difficult surfaces)
- Reduce costs and assembly times
- Better respect the environment
- Better respect the health of operators: replace traditional and harmful bonding solutions (e.g. neoprene liquid glue) with a self-adhesive solution
- Better respect for the users health: reducing volatile organic compound emissions for indoor applications
- Reduce vehicle weight
CERTIFICATIONS / APPROVALS
GERGONNE has been working with the major players in the automotive and transport industries for 30 years.
We are IATF 16949 certified which guarantees our customers the highest standard of organization and production. We also have accreditations in the rail sector (SNCF accreditations) and in the aeronautics sector.
Our laboratory is at our customers' disposal to check the conformity of our products with the various specifications.
UNDERSTANDING OF REQUIREMENTS
Inside or outside, we ensure a reliable bonding or protection thanks to the in-depth study of the strict and varied constraints expressed by our customers:
- Outdoor climatic conditions (humidity, U.V.)
- Low to high temperatures
- Exposure to chemical products (hydrocarbons, cleaning products, etc)
- High physical stresses (vibrations, shearing)
- Support with low surface tension (Low Surface Energy)
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
- Fire/smoke regulations
