in the field to develop and bring to market plant biotechnology and crop
protection solutions for sustainable food systems across the globe. For

truck. The global car manufacturer teamed with Dow. With a front-end, cab,
box and tailgate made of high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy and a
frame of high-strength steel, the F-150 uses our award-winning BETAMATE™
Structural Adhesives to replace welds and rivets, resulting in a lighter vehicle
and improved manufacturing eciencies. Innovating with customers such
as Ford, Dow is moving the automotive sector forward with enhanced safety,
sustainability and functionality.
