Adhex services

Adhex specializes in the design and production of adhesive-backed decorative parts for vehicles, targeting customization and personalization needs of the automotive sector. The range includes sash tapes, ABC pillar films, door sills, stickers, badges, emblems, logos, and medallions, all designed to withstand environmental and mechanical challenges such as UV exposure, weather, and abrasion. Utilizing advanced adhesive techniques like Bull'Net technology, Adhex ensures bubble-free application and durable bonding on various surfaces including metals, plastics, and textiles. These parts are compatible for both interior and exterior use, providing versatility across different vehicle components. The collaboration with vehicle manufacturers enables custom color matching and the development of tailored solutions that meet both design and functional criteria, resulting in a seamless integration of decorative elements into automotive architecture.

Adhex specializes in the manufacturing of thermoformed foams and plastic films, focusing on enhancing vehicle performance by providing effective sealing, thermal, and acoustic insulation solutions. Their products play a crucial role in vehicle safety and comfort by ensuring water, air, noise, and dust tightness through vacuum thermoformed plastic foams and films. Adhex utilizes advanced materials such as closed-cell polyolefin foams (PP, PE) coupled with adhesive solutions like hot melt and butyl, selected for durability and reliability throughout a vehicle's life cycle. Their digitally advanced design department works closely with vehicle manufacturers to develop adhesive or mechanically fixed solutions using CAD software like Catia V5. Adhex offers solutions like screen sealers, door water shields, thermal barriers, and effective noise insulation, all designed to meet high-quality standards. They also provide customized adhesive products tailored to automotive needs, utilizing their expertise in stiffening, damping, and soundproofing solutions for enhanced acoustic performance and comfort.

The weight reduction and de facto weakening of body components, such as the roof of the vehicle, requires to add reinforcements. Their role is twofold, on the one hand to avoid deformation or blistering of the sheet metal (indentation), and on the other hand to fight against parasitic noise and vibrations. Non visible and essential, the stiffeners must therefore be perfectly integrated into the design of the vehicle and fit perfectly into the shape of the sheet metal while avoiding contact with the roof lining and other surrounding parts. Once mounted, the stiffeners must not leave any marks or prevent the sheet metal from appearing taut.

Adhex provides innovative solutions for acoustic and thermal soundproofing in vehicles, addressing critical requirements such as noise reduction and thermal insulation. Their products, XL Pad and XL Drypad, are tailored to meet industry standards, including fire safety, odor control, and environmental directives. XL Pad is constructed with 20% recycled materials and is versatile for both dry and wet applications like soundproofing the mudguard or wheel arch. In contrast, XL Drypad, made with 70-100% recycled content, is optimized for dry areas, suitable for floor underlays or beneath carpets. Both solutions are designed to lighten vehicles while ensuring regulatory compliance. Their acoustic efficacy is validated against key acoustic performance measures. Adhex works closely with manufacturers, offering custom adhesive backings and an array of thermoformed parts in foam or plastic that also serve as barriers against air, water, dust, and noise, exemplifying their commitment to enhancing vehicle performance through innovative material applications.
