PO-Based Adhesive for Automotive Filtration, Engineered for Stable Pleat Retention and Efficient Production

G7013 is a PO-based hot melt adhesive designed to meet the bonding requirements of automotive air filter production, where stable pleat retention and dependable adhesive performance are essential to filter element quality.

During manufacturing, adhesive lines help hold folded filter media in the intended arrangement. G7013 combines strong adhesion with flexibility to support secure fixation while accommodating the structural requirements of automotive filter elements.

Its rapid setting behavior helps reduce waiting time between adhesive application and subsequent handling, making it suitable for production processes where consistent output and efficient material handling are important. Depending on the filter design and equipment configuration, G7013 can be evaluated for integration into manual or automated manufacturing lines.

For best results, adhesive performance should be assessed against the filter geometry, required flexibility, application parameters, and actual production speed.

Consistent Pleat Bonding for Automotive Filter Production

In automotive filter manufacturing, the adhesive must hold the folded filter structure securely while retaining enough flexibility to accommodate repeated bending and shaping. Uneven coating or a rigid bond line can affect bonding consistency and the integrity of the finished filter element.

G7013 is a PO hot melt adhesive developed for middle-layer bonding in PU filter pleating applications. Its flexible adhesive film helps maintain bond integrity after repeated folding, while its smooth coating behavior supports uniform adhesive distribution during production.

Typical applications include:

• Middle-layer bonding in automotive filter elements

• Adhesive fixation during PU filter pleating

• Stabilization of folded filter structures

• Flexible bonding for repeated folding and shaping

• Continuous filter manufacturing requiring consistent adhesive application

G7013 offers a practical alternative to conventional PA hot melt adhesives in suitable applications. Its rapid setting and consistent coating behavior can support efficient processing and reliable bonding results on the production line.

Final suitability should be confirmed through trials using the actual filter structure, coating method, and operating conditions, with particular attention to bond integrity after folding, adhesive distribution, and production stability.

Automotive Filter Applications and Process Integration

G7013 is intended for automotive air filter production processes that require reliable adhesive placement and stable retention of the folded filter structure. Its role is to help maintain pleat alignment throughout manufacturing and subsequent handling.

Pleat Retention During Assembly

Helps hold folded filter media in position during filter element forming and assembly, supporting consistent product geometry.

Controlled Adhesive Line Application

Suitable for processes where adhesive placement and line consistency are important to achieving uniform fixation across the filter element.

Filter Element Manufacturing

Designed for hot melt processing, G7013 can be assessed for use with manual, semi-automatic, or automated dispensing systems, depending on the equipment and process requirements.

For application qualification, manufacturers should evaluate the adhesive line pattern, pleat configuration, setting time, bonding strength, and filter stability under their actual production conditions. These factors help determine whether G7013 is suitable for the intended manufacturing process.

Odor management is an important consideration in automotive filter manufacturing, particularly where hot melt adhesives are applied at elevated temperatures and production lines operate continuously.

G7013 is a PO-based hot melt adhesive formulated for automotive air filter applications. Unlike solvent-based adhesive systems, its application process does not depend on solvent evaporation. Its low-odor characteristics can help improve the working environment around adhesive application areas.

For manufacturers seeking to balance bonding performance with workplace comfort, G7013 offers a practical option for evaluation in automotive filter production. Odor intensity and VOC emissions can vary with application temperature, equipment settings, and ventilation, so performance should be verified under actual operating conditions.

In automotive air filter production, adhesive application needs to match the filter geometry and required bonding pattern. Excessive application may increase material costs, while insufficient coverage can compromise pleat retention and bonding consistency.

G7013 is a PO hot melt adhesive developed for automotive air filter manufacturing. When paired with appropriate dispensing parameters, it can support controlled glue-line formation and consistent adhesive placement throughout the production process.

Optimizing the application process can help manufacturers improve:

• Glue-line accuracy and distribution
• Adhesive consumption per filter element
• Consistency across production batches
• Material utilization during high-volume manufacturing

The optimal application rate depends on pleat dimensions, bonding-line length, dispensing equipment, adhesive temperature, and production speed. Fine-tuning these parameters can help balance bonding requirements with cost-effective adhesive use.

We recommend conducting production trials to determine the appropriate coating pattern and adhesive quantity for your specific filter design and manufacturing setup.
