The high gloss of a car’s dashboard surface can cause glare and reflections on the windshield, greatly affecting driver safety. To enhance safety, carmakers must reduce the gloss on interior parts.
Dow’s next generation POE - XUS 38676.00 ensures that interior TPO surfaces have low gloss, while providing excellent toughness at low temperatures as well as balanced flowability and processability.

The development of autonomous driving technology has further increased the requirements for passive protection systems. Increase of the quantity of airbags and reduction of collateral damage upon airbag inflation are now common demands from the industry.
ENGAGE™ XLT 8677 POE can ensure excellent ductility even under low temperature, while INTUNE™ OBC has excellent compatibility to increase the stability of TPO’s performance.
ENGAGE™ 11000T is next generation olefin elastomers designed for automotive TPO. This innovative portfolio provides high efficient toughen and better dimensional stability.

The skyrocketing use of batteries in hybrid and electric cars brings more challenges to cooling tube system design. Working temperatures must now be maintained at low levels and at longer operation times.
Dow provides multiple material technologies – from EPDM to POE to functional polyolefins – to address optimization needs such as lightweighting, recyclability, flexibility, temperature resistance. Our expertise in material technologies can help you accelerate the development of optimized electric vehicle (EV) battery systems.
To create high-performance EV battery packs that meet typical design requirements, manufacturers must use adhesive solutions with tailored mechanical properties that enable process flexibility during production.
VORATRON™ EVs battery pack assembly adhesives can provide a wide range of different thermal conductivities and mechanical properties, enabling manufacturing automation.
