DuPont ‘s BETAMATE™ structural adhesives are a breakthrough solution in automotive engineering, offering an innovative alternative to traditional assembly techniques such as welding and mechanical fasteners.
These one-component and two-component adhesives have been developed to greatly improve the stiffness, NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), impact resistance and durability performance of vehicles.
Characteristics and advantages of structural adhesives
BETAMATE™ structural adhesives are distinguished by their ability to effectively bond steel, aluminum and other materials, contributing to greater body stiffness, which results in improved handling and acoustic performance.
These innovative products help reduce costs by eliminating the need for numerous welding points, lightening the steel used and allowing the use of mild steel instead of high-strength steel.
Another significant benefit is the reduction in vehicle weight, which results in lower CO2 emissions, thus aligning with increasingly stringent environmental guidelines.
Superior technical properties
BETAMATE™ adhesives feature a modulus in excess of 1,000 MPas and a glass transition temperature in excess of 80 °C, with impact resistance ranging from -40 °C to 80 °C.
These properties make them particularly effective in a variety of operating environments, providing adhesion even on oily substrates and resistance to washing.
These adhesives not only improve chassis and body durability by reducing common failures around weld points, but also offer effective protection against environmental conditions that cause corrosion.
