Automotive interiors are expected to look better, feel more comfortable and support cleaner cabin environments. Lubrizol’s Pearlstick™ and Pearlbond™ thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) solutions are designed to help automotive manufacturers and suppliers meet those expectations with low-emission adhesive technologies for demanding interior bonding applications.

Why do low VOC and low fogging adhesives matter in today’s vehicle cabins?

Because every material inside the cabin plays a role in the passenger experience. From seating and door panels to headliners, dashboards, trim components and textile laminates, bonding solutions need to deliver more than adhesion — they need to support durability, aesthetics and lower in-cabin emissions. Lubrizol’s low volatile and low fogging TPU technologies help reduce odor, fogging and VOC emissions while supporting long-term performance in automotive interior components.

How can Lubrizol TPU solutions help manufacturers bond smarter?

Lubrizol offers two complementary TPU portfolios for automotive interiors: Pearlstick™ TPU for solvent-based adhesives, and Pearlbond™ TPU for hot melt, reactive hot melt and adhesive film solutions. Pearlstick™ TPU supports reliable bonding, long open time and formulation flexibility, while Pearlbond™ TPU brings high thermoplasticity and efficient processing to heat-sealable fabrics, bonding layers, thermobonding films, webs and nets.

Together, they help manufacturers bond diverse substrates efficiently while supporting the comfort, durability and design freedom expected in modern vehicle interiors with low VOC/fog performance.
