Dow Auto: A Lighter Load

Structural bonding in the automotive industry has evolved significantly since its early use in the 1990s. Originally, adhesives were primarily used to complement spot welds to provide sealing and corrosion protection. However, advancements in material chemistry, application and process know-how have led to broader use and dependency upon adhesives to provide body stiffness improvement, body stiffness retention, long-term durability, and improved safety performance.
