DuPont Transportation & Advanced Polymers says that it has won two awards at the R&D 100 Awards.

The company received awards for a composite bonding adhesive made for car manufacturer Audi and a new nylon resin.

Developed with a team at Audi, Betaforce 9050M composite bonding adhesive is suitable for automotive mass production and multi-material substrates. DuPont says that the adhesive enables weight reduction and improves the torsional stiffness of the vehicle.

The company’s Zytel HTNLTFR52G30NH BL662 laser-transparent halogen-free nylon resin is designed for very thin parts for automotive electrical systems and consumer electronics.
