From "Material Supplier" to "Co-Builder": DuPont Empowers the Great Transformation of Future Mobility With Safety, Quietness, and Reliability As Three Pillars

On the occasion of the grand opening of the 19th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, DuPont officially launched its focused initiative."A forward-looking solution matrix that is 'safe, tranquil, and reliable,' aims to fully empower the future mobility ecosystem with the innovative power of material science."

“Amid the automotive industry’s unprecedented transformation in a century, DuPont is not merely a materials supplier, but a co-creator of the future mobility ecosystem. Leveraging over a century of profound expertise, we deeply integrate micro-level innovations in materials science with global engineering capabilities to provide the industry with…‘Safe, quiet, reliable’systematic solution.”DuPont Adhesives and Brake Fluids Global Market Mr. RongIndicates,“In the wave of electrification, in the face of increasingly stringent safety requirements and complex challenges, NVHNoise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)Difficulties and challenges brought by global supply chain stability，DuPont is transforming complex engineering challenges into definitive competitive advantages through rapid local response and top-tier technical services, helping global customers redefine the superior experience of the next generation of automobiles.”

Security: Breaking the Reliability Bottleneck of Bare Metal Bonding, Laying a Solid Foundation for Load-bearing Battery Safety

As battery packs move toward load-bearing structures (CTP/CTB/CTC) evolution, metal components must directly bear the vehicle’s complex loads, imposing unprecedentedly stringent requirements on joining technologies. However, bare metal surfaces present challenges due to low surface energy causing poor wettability, ease of contaminant formation leading to weak boundary layers, and thermal cycling-induced interfacial stresses.“Triple Bottleneck”, making it a core technological challenge to achieve reliable bonding with high strength, high durability, and electrical insulation without pre-treatment, directly restricting the safety, lightweight, and integration progress of the next-generation electric platforms.

DuPont has built“From surface to structure”Systematic Closed-Loop Optimization Strategy，Plasma activation technology instantly increases surface energy, synergisticallyBETAMATE™ BETAFORCE™Molecular regulation of high-performance adhesives balances strength and toughness, while structural engineering design reduces fatigue sensitivity. This approach not only delivers exceptional mechanical and electrical performance in practical testing but also significantly enhances production line throughput and reduces overall costs by greatly simplifying—or even eliminating—conventional pre-treatment processes, thereby establishing a robust technical foundation for the efficient, sustainable, and large-scale manufacturing of electric vehicles.

Tranquility: Interpretation of Materials"Triad", Building the Full Life CycleNVHFirewall

In the era of new energy vehicles, the fading of the engine's roar has led to“ ”Becoming standard, yet amplifying road noise, subtle rattles, and electric motor whine infinitely. For consumers,NVHPerformance has transcended mere comfort and become a core factor in purchase decisions. As vehicles age, traditional fasteners loosen, spot welds corrode, and structural resonances emerge, while electric drive systems generate impact noises and jerkiness during torque transitions—subtly degrading ride quality. From macro-level body vibration damping to quiet, wear-resistant differentials and smooth, high-speed operation of planetary gear sets, DuPont delivers with rubber-to-metal bonding solutions.MOLYKOTE^®Special Lubrication andVespel^®High-performance wear-resistant materials play a tune“Trio”, building an impregnable barrier for new-energy vehiclesNVHFirewall.

As the cornerstone of this defense line, DuPont's high-performance rubber-to-metal bonding solutions aim to comprehensively enhance body structure strength, energy efficiency, and passive safety, thereby optimizing the entire vehicle.NVHLevel. DuPont™ MEGUM™ THIXON™This adhesive series, featuring customized formulation design, precisely bonds a wide range of substrates including steel, aluminum, engineering plastics, and composites. It maintains exceptional adhesion and long-term stability even under harsh conditions such as high temperatures, severe vibration, oil contamination, or dynamic loading. The solution has been widely applied to critical components such as hoses, vibration isolators, bushings, and seals, effectively eliminating noise sources and interrupting vibration transmission.
