Complete adhesive solutions for truck and trailer manufacturing
Modern truck and trailer manufacturing relies on lightweight sandwich structures, durable assembly solutions and efficient production processes. Kiilto supports manufacturers with specialised adhesive systems for:
Our solutions help improve durability, production efficiency and long-term performance in demanding transport conditions.
We help optimise bonding processes through adhesive selection, rigorous labotary testing and technical support tailored to your specific manufacturing environment.
Adhesives for structural sandwich panel manufacturing
Sandwich panels form the structural foundation of modern truck and trailer bodies. These lightweight structures combine metals, insulation materials and wood-based or composite layers into panels that must withstand constant vibration, weather and heavy mechanical loads.
The right adhesive distributes stress evenly across the structure, reduces thermal bridging and supports consistent panel quality in demanding transport conditions. It also matches the pace of your production line by providing optimal working time for assembly and short pressing times for maximum throughput.
Kiilto Pro PUR TB: High-performance polyurethane adhesives
Kiilto Pro PUR TB is a two-component, solvent-free polyurethane adhesive series designed for sandwich panel manufacturing. The series includes adhesives with different open times, making it easier to select the right solution for different assembly stages and line requirements.
Our PUR adhesives provide:
- Reliable adhesion for demanding sandwich structures
- Superior pumpability in automated application systems
- An ideal balance of open time and pressing time for efficient production
- Strength, elasticity and hardness designed for demanding conditions
Viscosity and flow behaviour can also be adjusted to suit your specific application methods and equipment.

Built together with manufacturers
Different materials and production methods create requirements that standard adhesives alone rarely cover. We work closely with manufacturers to develop tailored solutions – through adhesive testing, process optimisation and ongoing technical support.
Adhesive performance is always verified both in laboratory conditions and your production environment and materials.
Surface preparation
Reliable bonding starts with with a clean foundation. Different metals, coatings and insulation materials may need specific cleaning or priming to ensure consistent process quality.
We offer professional-grade primers and cleaners for different transportation manufacturing applications and material combinations.
Adhesive sealants for assembly, sealing and fixing
Truck and trailer structures face constant vibration, movement and changing weather conditions. Adhesive sealants need to hold firmly while remaining flexible under transport use.
Kiilto offers silyl-modified (SMP) sealants for transport industry applications:
• Truck body assembly
• Sealing of joints
• Accessory installation and fixing
From lab to production: how we support your process
It’s not enough for a product to work in the lab — it must deliver the same results on production lines. Kiilto supports you through every step:
- Laboratory testing. In each case, we adapt our tests and methods to the customer’s needs.
- Pilot-scale application and optimisation
- Full production trials with hands-on support
- Tailored formulations to meet process and product requirements
All R&D is based in Finland, with extensive lab and pilot-scale testing facilities. We also collaborate with research organisations and customers across Europe to test and tailor our solutions.
