solutions from dow automotive systems

Long an industry leader in glass and plastic bonding technology, Dow Automotive Systems offers rubber-to-substrate bonding solutions that help make vehicles more energy efficient, safer, stronger, quieter, cleaner, more comfortable and better looking. Our experience and diverse technologies enable us to solve your most challeng-ing problems.

High-performance adhesive formulations bond similar and dissimilar substrates in mounts, bushings, belts, brake pads, window profiles and other applications.

Bonding elastomeric mate-rials to metal, engineering plastics or other elastomers requires tough adhesives. MEGUM, THIXON and ROBOND bonding agents can be specially formulated for the specific bonding requirements of various substrates and conditions. We offer a full line of low-VOC and HAP-compliant systems to help reduce emissions. Our adhesives perform in extremely severe environments and are suit-ed for many automotive applications, including hoses, mounts, belts, bushings, seals and instrument panels.
