In recent years a series of environmental and end-of-life regulations in the automotive sector has triggered significant changes in vehicle design and manufacture on a global scale. The call for improved fuel efficiency and safety, increased passenger comfort, and a reduction in the emission of pollutants has seen the introduction of new materials and manufacturing techniques to develop lighter, more efficient vehicles. To these requirements has been added the need to re-design vehicles with disassembly, materials re-use and recovery in mind. These trends have had a big impact on the adhesives, sealants and coatings markets. Adhesives, sealants and coatings are found in just about every area of a car.
