BETAMATE technology provides a high performance bonding solution for a variety of substrates. BETAMATE structural adhesives replace welds and mechanical fasteners and reduce fatigue and failure commonly found around spot welds and fasteners. BETAMATE technology is used in the earliest stage in body design to make it stiffer, safer, lighter and better crash resistant.

BETAMATE 73309E is a one-part, expandable, high performance, heat curing, epoxy adhesive. It is capable of bonding oily galvanized and cold rolled steel without a primer and has corrosion resistance. It also has sag resistance and peel strength. It expands during cure for good bonding gap filling and is higher in viscosity and rheology for wash-off resistance.
 
Product Benefits:

• Provides a low-cost, durable solution for structural joining application
• Increases stiffness, crash- and corrosion resistance
• Contributes to lightweight design by minimizing weight
• Can minimize costs by reducing expensive weld points and enabling the use of thinner metal sheets without losing mechanical properties
• Excellent adhesion to automotive steel, including coated steel and aluminum
• Protects joints against corrosion
• Expands during cure for good bonding gap filling

Application: BETAMATE 73309E structural adhesive can be applied on the flange areas on doors, roofs, hoods, panels and structural reinforcement parts directly on the oiled metal

Application Methods: As a continuous bondline, swirled, sprayed and extruded.

OEM Specifications: BETAMATE 73309E structural adhesive meets MS CD457 Type C specifications.
