Adhesive solutions and machines for the automotive industry
The automotive industry uses technical adhesives at all stages of manufacturing, processing, finishing, assembly, and logistics. The needs are very varied: masking a bodywork before painting, protecting sensitive surfaces, fixing decorative elements, insulating electrical harnesses, shielding electronic components, reducing friction on tools, connecting coils, or securing the shipment of spare parts.
DERFI supports body shops, equipment manufacturers, automotive subcontractors, component manufacturers, assembly lines, method services, maintenance services, and logistics platforms with a complete range of adhesive tapes, protective films, double-sided tapes, high-temperature tapes, electrical insulation adhesives, shielding tapes, anti-adhesion tapes, packaging tapes, and cutting or dispensing machines.
DERFI solutions allow for:
- improving the precision of masking operations
- protecting painted, glazed, varnished, or plastic surfaces
- replacing certain mechanical fasteners
- reducing repetitive manual handling
- standardising the lengths of tapes used at workstations
- improving operator ergonomics
- securing cutting operations
- optimising the pace at industrial workstations
- reducing consumable waste
- creating a clear link between adhesives and associated machines

DERFI adhesive solutions for the automotive industry
DERFI adhesive solutions for the automotive industry meet the needs of body shops, equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, parts manufacturers, logistics services and maintenance workshops. They cover applications for paint masking, laminating, surface protection, interior and exterior assembly, electrical insulation, electromagnetic shielding, anti-adhesion, sealing, packaging and cutting of technical materials.
DERFI automotive masking tapes allow for the preparation of vehicles before painting, achieving clean lines in two-tone paint, and protecting sensitive surfaces. High-temperature tapes ensure savings operations, powder coating, welding, and thermal protection. Double-sided tapes, acrylic foams, PE foams, and transfer tapes facilitate the attachment of logos, trims, panels, and interior components. Electrical insulation tapes, polyimide, polyester, glass fabric, and conductive copper meet the needs of harnesses, sensors, printed circuits, and embedded components.
DERFI machines complement these solutions by automating the cutting, distribution, and application of adhesives. They help reduce repetitive handling, improve length accuracy, limit material waste, and optimise production rates at automotive production stations.
