LG CHEM announced on the 25th that it has signed a contract with HL Mando for the 'joint development of next-generation automotive electronic components adhesive' to expand the automotive adhesive market.
HL Mando is a leading global Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) company within the HL Group, developing key components for autonomous driving solutions and vehicle safety while leading the standardization of electronic component materials in the automotive sector of the HL Group.
LG CHEM is jointly developing and testing products with HL Mando, targeting thermal interface materials for camera and radar driver assistance systems (ADAS), as well as insulating adhesives for vehicle steering and braking systems. The two companies plan to broaden their cooperation to encompass all thermal and adhesive materials related to next-generation electronic components.
Thermal interface materials for ADAS control components are high-reliability products with high thermal conductivity that have passed various harsh condition evaluations. LG CHEM has secured technology that enhances thermal stability compared to existing products, contributing to improved component reliability, with mass production targeted for 2026.
The insulating adhesive for vehicle steering and braking systems is characterized by its ability to maintain adhesive and insulation performance even at high temperatures generated during motor operation.
Kim Dong-chun, vice president of LG CHEM's advanced materials division, noted, 'LG CHEM is focused on developing customized solutions and eco-friendly technologies in the adhesive field, extending to various electronic components as well as vehicle bodies,' and added, 'We will provide innovative and reliable adhesive solutions through our collaboration with HL Mando.'
