COATINGS, ADHESIVES AND SEALANTS IN AUTOMOTIVE............The automotive industry is one of the largest and most challenging areas for coatings, adhesives and sealants. Coatings, the largest category, garners over three quarters of the total dollars and more than one-half of the poundage.  Adhesives and sealants split the balance.  Constantly changing product design, in combination with the automotive industry’s continuous striving for lighter, more efficient, less polluting, and more technologically advanced automobiles, creates an abundance of opportunities for coatings, adhesives and sealants formulators, polymer manufacturers, and other raw material suppliers as well.
