The materials used in the manufacture of today’s automobile are a complex mixture of products and technologies. This is as true for trim and bumper parts as it is for engine and body components.

The average trim section is a composite of metal and polymer made possible by the coil coating application of a compatible adhesive to the metal followed by the application of the desired polymer in any of the recognised techniques of co-extrusion, injection moulding or lamination.

Cooper Coated Coil specialise in the continuous coating of metal coil with primers and adhesives designed to satisfy the product requirements of a spectrum of metal/polymer composites such as PVC, PP, EPDM, Santoprene and others.

The relationship between adhesive/metal and polymer is thermally and chemically complicated and the Cooper Coated Coil Selector Guide should be referred to for more information. Customers with special applications are encouraged to involve Cooper Coated Coil at an early stage where new materials or processes are involved.

In addition, continuous product development, in co-operation with our partners in metal and coatings industries, enables Cooper Coated Coil to keep pace with the ever changing automotive and polymer markets.
