Henkel’s Dual Cure Adhesive Takes ADAS Camera and LiDAR Module Bonding to the Next Level

Using a unique UV cationic thermal dual cure epoxy, Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218 offers an ideal solution for lens bonding in ADAS sensors.

(PRESS RELEASE) DÜSSELDORF, 9-Jan-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — Henkel (ETR: HEN3), a German chemical and consumer goods company, has introduced a new adhesive called Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218, specifically formulated for bonding applications in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) cameras and LiDAR modules in the automotive industry. The adhesive is a unique UV cationic thermal dual cure epoxy that is suitable for use in a variety of bonding applications, including attaching lens barrels to housing and lens housing to circuit boards. The development of ADAS technologies, which use high-resolution sensors and a broad database to support driver ability and enhance safety on the road, is playing a fundamental role in the evolution towards autonomous driving. As ADAS becomes more prevalent in the automotive industry and is increasingly viewed as a necessary safety feature, automotive manufacturers and suppliers are looking for efficient and reliable solutions that meet the demands of safety-critical applications. Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218 is Henkel’s contribution to this effort, offering a material that is optimized for use in ADAS sensors.

Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218 is a dispensable, 1-component dual cure non-conductive adhesive. Due to its high glass transition temperature (Tg), the interface is less stressed, offering excellent adhesion to PCB, various plastics (PBT, PPS) and aluminium substrates. It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), with a low and consistent cure shrinkage that minimises size change once cured. Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218 enables long-term robust and reliable performance throughout the entire lifetime of ADAS sensors. Its grey colour is also ideal for optical applications, as it ensures optimal blocking to prevent unintentional light penetration, providing additional quality assurance for the sensor.

Loctite Ablestik NCA 3218 has been created to meet global product safety standards and is CMR, SVHC, antimony free, and REACH compliant.
