Automotive carpets do far more than cover the floor — they absorb noise, trap dirt, enhance aesthetics, and contribute to passenger safety. But behind every well-laid carpet is a powerful adhesive solution, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern vehicle design. For Original Equipment Suppliers (OES), developing these systems means balancing a complex mix of performance, cost-efficiency, and sustainability — all under the pressure of fast-paced production lines and growing environmental regulations. In this context, the right carpet adhesive is not just a bonding agent — it’s a key enabler of smarter, greener, and more efficient manufacturing. All of these requirements place new demands on the adhesives used to bond carpets to the vehicle’s body. The right carpet adhesives must be reliable, efficient, environmentally responsible, and compatible with next-generation materials.

Meeting Industry Demands with High-Performance Carpet Adhesives
Our innovative automotive carpet adhesives are developed to help manufacturers streamline production while aligning with shifting market and regulatory expectations. Whether you’re producing traditional shoddy-backed carpets or advanced multilayer flooring systems, our adhesive solutions provide dependable performance without compromising on sustainability or safety. Here’s how we help you stay ahead:
1. Keep production lines running smoothly
Our adhesives are engineered for immediate adhesion to shoddy materials, ensuring fast handling and secure placement on the vehicle floor. This reduces dwell times and helps avoid bottlenecks on the line, supporting high-throughput operations.
- Fast green strength: Immediate bonding minimizes waiting periods
- Clean application: Reduced mess and cleanup times
- High initial tack: Keeps carpets in place without clamps or weights
2. Improve end-of-life recyclability
Our adhesive solutions are developed with recyclable thermoplastics like polyester in mind. They are compatible with common carpet backings and do not interfere with material separation processes at end-of-life.
- Designed for circularity: Promotes easier dismantling and material recovery
- Ideal for mono-material systems: Supports single-polymer carpet structures
- Non-reactive formulations: Prevents contamination of recycling streams
3. Solvent-Free, Environmentally Friendly Technologies
Environmental regulations across North America, Europe, and Asia are pushing manufacturers to eliminate hazardous substances and reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. That’s why our adhesives use solvent-free, water-based or hot-melt technologies, which help you meet environmental targets while maintaining excellent performance characteristics.
- Zero solvent emissions: Better for the environment and workplace safety
- Low energy curing: Contributes to overall energy savings in production
- Compliance-ready: Meets REACH and global OEM sustainability requirements
4. Prioritize Passenger Safety and Comfort
Interior air quality and odor are increasingly important factors in customer satisfaction. Our low-odor adhesives are formulated to ensure a comfortable in-cabin experience, free from harsh chemical smells often associated with traditional bonding agents. Additionally, excellent acoustic properties support quieter cabins, enhancing ride quality and driver concentration.
- Low fogging & VOCs: Protects indoor air quality
- Odorless ride: Improves perceived vehicle quality
- Enhanced NVH: Better insulation against noise, vibration, and harshness
Applications & Use Cases of carpet adhesives
Our carpet adhesives are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Passenger vehicle load floors
- Trunk liners and side panels
- Commercial vehicle flooring
- Shoddy- and nonwoven-backed carpets
- Hybrid flooring systems with foam or fiber layers
Whether you’re bonding textiles, recycled fibers, or multilayer laminates, we offer formulations tailored to your substrate and production method — from spray and roll-coat to bead and slot die application.
