How to eliminate noise in the car

Over time, some plastic parts of the car may wear out and even break, which can create noise interference during movement and tremors in the car. In many cases, it is not possible to replace the defective part because the manufacturer either did not foresee this, or the part is not supplied in the kit and this requires a major investment in repair. So, to eliminate these breakdowns, as a rule, glues with high efficiency are chosen.

Laboratories that develop such products have made significant advances in the rapid curing epoxy sector. These are two-component adhesives and they are very effective for gluing most materials: metals, wood, plastics and ceramics.

Mode of application

Often, such adhesives are presented in envelopes with the appropriate amount of a mixture of each component. A spatula is also included.

The use of this product is very simple. However, it is important to follow the recommended manufacturer.

1. Surface preparation

Bonding areas must be free of impurities and free from any contaminants such as grease or grease. For this, it is recommended to use a solvent-based general purpose plastic part cleaner. It is recommended to dry it correctly so that the cleaner does not affect the curing of the adhesive.

To achieve maximum attachment strength, it is recommended that you scrape the surface, sand it with medium-sized sandpaper (P80) or fine-grained (P120) to finish on finer surfaces.

2. Product mix

Mix with a spatula, mixing the two components on the table surface to make the mixture homogeneous.

3. Attachment

In order to obtain a high strength joint, it is recommended to apply the component on both surfaces that you want to combine.

4. Completion

To ensure bonding, it is necessary to keep the components stationary for a reasonable period of time. The curing time depends on a number of factors, including temperature: the higher the temperature, the shorter the drying time.

The remaining adhesive can be cleaned using solvents.

Fast cure epoxy adhesives

Fast curing epoxy adhesive has many uses in repair shops. Here are some of them:

• Repair of a metal door panel. Sometimes, after repairing one of the car doors, it is necessary to glue the inner door panels. Dismantling this component causes the fasteners made at the factory to break. One option to secure this element is to use glue, thus obtaining a strong connection.

• Protective elements.  Due to the protective function that these elements must perform in the bottom of the car, they are subject to wear, weathering, mechanical damage, creating noise and removing the safety of road users. Adhesive may be the solution to repair the component and avoid part replacement. It will be advisable to sanitize the cracks and fill them with glue.

• Engine cover Over time, temperature and vibration contrasts that occur in the engine compartment of a car lead to cracks in the protective cover, causing annoying noise. Thanks to glue, it is possible to make a seal in a matter of minutes, quick recovery and ease of use eliminate the need to replace components.

These are just some of the many uses that two-component epoxy adhesive offers. Thanks to this kind of product, easy to use. fast repair and reduced waiting time possible for a car enthusiast. Also this method suggests savings for the consumerbecause it avoids the replacement of parts or assemblies. In addition, the product is served in the form of sticks – this is a great advantage for repairs, as no material wasted in large quantities, and glue will always be in perfect condition for future repairs.
