Exteriors
Allow our design, engineering and technical experts to help you reduce vehicle costs and weight; advance styling and finish; and improve durability, and dimensional stability and weatherability.
Styling and aesthetic opportunities: We can help with issues of styling and paintability and provide alternatives that can offer environmental benefits as well as cost and manufacturing efficiencies. Read how SPECTRIM™ polymers offer Class A, high-gloss finishes for body panels, vertical panels and truck fenders.
Dimensional stability: Our extensive experience with materials and exterior applications offers significant advantages when managing issues of dimensional stability, strength and thermal expansion (CLTE). Find out how PULSE™ engineering resins, for example, can withstand temperature extremes while providing top performance in tough applications.
Weatherability and durability: Whether you're choosing the exterior finish or underside coatings, let us help you find the right solution that will withstand the effects of rocks, snow, sun and moisture.
Interiors
Our full line of multifunctional materials and systems can help you meet your needs for comprehensive, integrated solutions for your vehicle interiors.
Acoustical management and vibration control: For a quieter riding experience, we have interior solutions that address structural, engine and road noise. Our low-density foams act as reliable acoustical seals, while our structural adhesives and reinforcing composites can reduce sheet metal vibrations. In addition, technologies such as BETAFOAM™ NVH systems contribute to improved body rigidity and crashworthiness while managing noise and vibration.
Durability and aesthetics: Interior aesthetics and durability can dramatically affect a customer's perception of a vehicle's value. By working with Dow Automotive and our wide range of polypropylene and ABS resins, sealants, adhesives and structural products and systems, you can maximize flexibility in design and materials selection to create interiors with better fit and finish, improved scratch and mar resistance and dimensional stability. In addition, we are constantly developing new materials – such as SPECFLEX™ ultra low emission seating systems and VELVEX™ reinforced elastomer for unpainted interior trim applications - to help you better achieve your design challenges and meet changing market needs.
