Components, materials and bondings on the test bench

Components, materials and bondings on the test bench

Automotive

At the OFI, we test the bonded joints and coatings of vehicles. We determine the service life of car parts by means of weathering tests and climate change tests. Our focus is on testing organic materials and components with regard to their resistance to environmental influences and their physical and chemical properties in accordance with current regulations, standards and norms.

Thanks to the outstanding, multifunctional properties of modern adhesives, designers today have new options in terms of design and functionality. Products can thus be produced with high quality, attractive design and great performance. The use of new materials and composites ensures weight savings and easier assembly for vehicles of all types.
