LG Chem plans to expand its automotive adhesive market.

With high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, thermally conductive adhesives are used to bond battery cells to modules or packs for thermal management and performance maintenance.

In addition to thermally conductive adhesives for batteries, LG Chem is developing various adhesive materials, such as polyimide varnishes and silver nano pastes for motors and inverters/converters, in close cooperation with domestic and foreign companies.

The company is also expanding its adhesives product portfolio to include those that can be applied to various electronic components such as camera sensors, headlamps, and in-vehicle displays.
