DuPont announces that DuPont™ BETAMATE™ broad bake adhesives for sustainable mass manufacturing of battery electric vehicles have won the 2023 R&D100 Awards in the Mechanical/Materials category.
The R&D 100 Awards, sponsored by R&D World Magazine, recognizes the 100 most innovative technologies of the previous year.
Offers Significant Energy Savings
DuPont™ BETAMATE™ broad bake adhesives are a novel solution enabling sustainable manufacturing of next-generation electric vehicles through a significant reduction of the e-coat oven temperature. This solution provides significant energy savings while durably bonding the high mass underbody of EV body structures in the body shop.
In addition, BETAMATE™ broad bake adhesives provide excellent corrosion resistance, enhance passenger safety, deliver high elastic modulus and tensile strength, maintaining the quality of the bond over the vehicle’s projected lifetime and with a shelf life of at least six months.
“
