What if I told you that something as seemingly simple as adhesive is reshaping the future of electric vehicles and sustainable manufacturing? In this episode of Adhesion Matters, we take a deep dive into how DuPont’s BETAFORCE™ adhesive line is quietly powering the next generation of ultra-light, high-performance, and eco-conscious vehicles.

What’s Inside:

• Not Just Sticky, Strategic
  BETAFORCE™ isn’t your average glue—it’s a high-performance bonding solution that enables the automotive industry to rethink how vehicles are built. We unravel how this technology makes multi-material designs (think carbon fiber to aluminum) both possible and dependable.
• From DuPont’s Innovation Roots to EV Mastery
  Rooted in decades of material science leadership, BETAFORCE™ builds on DuPont’s legacy (and the former Dow-derived BETAMATE™ heritage) to deliver room-temperature curing, primerless application, and rapid cycle times—ideal for high-volume production.
• Built for Efficiency and Sustainability
  Adhesives that cure quickly and at ambient temperature are energy savers. Add in formulations with up to 30% renewable, bio-based materials, and you've got high performance with a lighter environmental footprint.
• Strength, Safety, and Structure
  Continuous bond lines created by BETAFORCE™ don’t just stick parts together—they absorb vibrations, reduce noise, prevent corrosion, and distribute impact energy more effectively than fasteners ever could.
• Real-World Impact
  Learn how vehicles like the BMW i3 (largely bonded with BETAFORCE™) and the Audi e-tron (using a thermally conductive variant) illustrate adhesive innovation in action. These bonds win awards—and they win on the road.
• Vision for a Circular Automotive Future
  DuPont is already looking ahead—not just to bonding, but to debonding. Imagine adhesives that can be intelligently released for repair or recycling. It’s emerging science today but tomorrow’s industry game-changer.
