Flexel™ Reactive Film Adhesive
H.B. Fuller’s Flexel™ Reactive Film Adhesive (RFA) presents a promising advancement for automotive interior trim applications. This adhesive boasts excellent bond strength and resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals, while simplifying the assembly process. Unlike traditional adhesives, Flexel does not require drying time, is easy to handle and store, and can be used without messy cleanup. Its quick curing during the hot press cycle allows manufacturers to reduce inventory and lead times. Flexel’s lower activation temperature preserves sensitive materials, and its unique flexibility after curing enhances adhesion performance. Although it is more expensive on a material cost basis, the overall savings in time, labor, and energy make Flexel RFA an attractive alternative to conventional adhesive systems.
