What Dow Automotive is doing in thermal management is a good example of taking existing expertise and applying it in an innovative way to create a customized solution.

We have long been aware of the sealing and insulative properties of our foams, sealers and dampers as they impact acoustical management. But with innovative thinking and customized formulations these materials also have the ability to impact a vehicle's cabin temperature environment. So, materials such as BETAFOAM™ can be utilized for its acoustical management properties, and for its thermal management capabilities as well. And, our years of glass bonding experience have enabled us to intimately understand how the amount of glass in a vehicle contributes to heat loss and retention.

Once cabin temperature issues have been addressed, it is possible to optimize HVAC and other under-the-hood components accordingly, thus leading to a more fuel-efficient vehicle. Dow Automotive, with its professionals dedicated to under-the-hood application development, and its resources at The Dow Chemical Company, is uniquely positioned to address thermal management challenges.
