To help increase the level of safety of drivers from car crashes, the new Opel Insignia will be armed with BETAMATE crash durable adhesives to offer a broader range of properties that help achieve safety, weight-savings and production benefits.
Dow Automotive, as a supplier of crash durable adhesives that fulfil OEM requirements for both safety and weight-savings, continues to broaden the application base of this technology.
Highlights of the BETAMATE include:
- Improved crash performance and safety classification
- Extended durability of body-in-white
- Better overall stiffness and improved handling performance
- Further down-gauging the body-in-white for weight reduction
With this application, Dow Automotive again demonstrates the value of bonding as joining technology in automotive construction and the recognition this high performance technology continues to achieve in the industry.
