Structural Enhancements

A number of innovative materials can improve vehicle structure without adding weight or significant cost. In fact, in many instances Dow Automotive can help decrease both weight and cost by engineering materials solutions that enable thinner vehicle wall construction and reduce steel support structures and mechanical fasteners. Products used in structural enhancement include BETABRACE™ reinforcing composites, BETASEAL™ glass bonding systems, BETAFOAM™ structural foams, BETAFOAM™ SFI (structural foam inserts), BETAMATE™ structural adhesives and BETAMATE™ crash-resistant adhesives.
