Insights from The Commercial Vehicle Show 2025

The Commercial Vehicle Show 2025 was a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with manufacturers, converters, and fit-out specialists across the industry, and the response to our Tecbond hot melt systems was overwhelmingly positive.

One thing was clear – sprayable adhesives are gaining serious traction in vehicle construction and fit-out applications. Visitors to our stand saw firsthand how Tecbond spray adhesives offer a user-friendly, cost-effective alternative to solvent-based options.

With fast, even coverage and no VOCs or toxic solvents, they’re ideal for lining and insulating purpose-built vehicles, and they make working on large areas quicker, cleaner, and safer.

Another standout trend was the ongoing challenge of bonding polypropylene, particularly to itself. We knew before the show that this was a known issue in the industry, but it was surprising just how many visitors raised it as a sticking point (no pun intended).

Our team was able to demonstrate how Tecbond 267 and Tecbond 268 solve this exact problem, with quick demos bonding small squares of polypropylene on stand.

We also spoke with several refrigerated vehicle manufacturers who were impressed by our low-temperature resistant formulations. Our hot melts enable them to simplify their process by using a single adhesive technology across multiple applications, from insulation to trim work, all while maintaining strength and durability at low temperatures.
