Improve Vehicle Coatings
Polymer-based coatings and adhesives play crucial roles in vehicle design and fabrication. Coatings provide protection from corrosion, scratching, UV, and aging while improving the appearance of the vehicle. Adhesives must provide strong bonding of components while maintaining light weight. Accelrys software and services can help you understand and control polymer structure, properties, and processes.
Predict the Binding Properties of Vehicle Coatings
Coatings must adhere well to surfaces throughout the lifetime of a product. Accelrys' solutions can help you predict the active surfaces of new structures, as well as predict how molecules will chemically or physically bind with the surfaces.

Resistance to Vehicle Coating Corrosion
Coatings are often used to protect surfaces from a hostile environment. Molecules such as oxygen and water can damage delicate metal components if they can penetrate through surfaces. Accelrys solutions can help you predict the diffusivity and solubility of small molecules, as well as actual corrosion inhibition in complex systems.
