The safety and security of the driver and passengers are our top priority.

Our solutions include a wide range of lightweight structural and energy absorbing foam technologies, which reinforce vehicle body structures and protect vehicle occupants without adding weight or significant cost; premium brake fluids made from high-quality materials to help ensure consistent and efficient braking; and advances that allow vehicle foams to be made with fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for improved cabin air quality for vehicle occupants.

A Total Solutions Approach

Conserving energy, reducing emissions, protecting lives - successfully capturing these elements is essential in vehicle engineering. Here's a closer look at some innovative Dow Automotive safety technologies:

BETAMATE™ structural adhesives offer increased stiffness and improved crash resistance to meet safety and weight reduction performance criteria in today's vehicle body construction.

BETASEAL™ glass bonding systems make the windshield and backlite an integral part of vehicle structure and meet globally mandated requirements for rollover and roof crush.

IMPAXX™ energy absorbing foam is designed to absorb energy on impact and cushion the blow that a vehicle occupant receives. In addition to its safety features, the foam is 100 percent recyclable, provides design flexibility and assembly advantages, conserves weight and improves vehicle fuel efficiency.

Collaborating for Optimum Solutions

We work closely with our customers to provide specific design and engineering support – from conceptual development to rapid protyping. We have several products including reinforcing composites, structural foams, crash-resistant adhesives and more, available for use in vehicle safety performance. These products can be used alone or in conjunction with each other to provide a total solution. For detailed information about our safety-enhancing solutions, see our Solutions Finder.
