DuPont and Fuyao Join Forces to Launch Revolutionary Primerless Adhesive

·Featuring innovative primerless technology, this new solution eliminates pretreatment, offers easy one-step application with efficient curing, ensures strong adhesion, and is user-friendly.

As a global leader in adhesive solutions for the automotive aftermarket, DuPont, in collaboration with Fuyao Group, a global leader in automotive glass, officially launched the new generation of primerless polyurethane adhesive—BETASEAL™ ACE on November 28, 2025. The launch took place in Fuyao's headquarters city of Fuqing, China, leveraging the platform of the 3rd National CARG & AGTS Automotive Glass Skills Competition & 1st National Automotive Film Application Skills Competition (co-hosted by Fuyao Group and Yidao Daka), a major industry event.

This new product launch is not merely a technological debut but a significant move to deepen the strategic cooperation between DuPont and Fuyao in the aftermarket. BETASEAL™ ACE being designated as the official adhesive for this competition fully demonstrates its authoritative recognition in the field of professional installation. This product redefines the safety and efficiency standards for automotive glass replacement, truly enabling "drive-away readiness" and setting a new benchmark for both standards and safety in aftermarket repairs.

He Zhaogang, Asia Pacific Commercial Director for Adhesives & Brake Fluids at DuPont, stated, "BETASEAL™ ACE is a landmark achievement resulting from the powerful collaboration between DuPont and Fuyao. Leveraging Fuyao's deep understanding of OEM standards and aftermarket scenarios, we jointly defined the stringent performance requirements for the product in terms of safety, efficiency, and ADAS compatibility. This product achieves primerless, direct bonding to OEM paint surfaces, possesses High Modulus Non-Conductive (HMNC) characteristics, is certified to FMVSS 212, reliably cures even at -18°C, and supports a drive-away time as fast as 30 minutes. This is not just a material innovation but a crucial step by both parties in building a new aftermarket ecosystem that is 'safe and trustworthy, with replicable processes and promotable standards'."

Speaking about the deep cooperation in this event, Chen Juli, President of Fuyao Group's Global Accessories Automotive Glass Business, said, "As a global leader in automotive glass, we place great importance on product quality and the safety, efficiency, and technical suitability of the 'last mile' installation. DuPont's BETASEAL™ ACE, with its advantages such as OEM-level strong adhesion, primerless application, fast curing, and ADAS compatibility, precisely meets the modern repair industry's demand for high quality and high efficiency. Designating it as the competition's official adhesive not only recognizes its technical strength but also highlights our shared commitment with DuPont to promote industry standardization, safety, and professionalism."

Since pioneering the world's first primerless glass bonding technology over 30 years ago, DuPont has consistently been at the forefront of industry innovation. Today, the BETASEAL™ glass bonding system has served global mainstream automotive manufacturers for over 60 years, widely used in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and premium vehicles equipped with advanced ADAS systems, continually safeguarding vehicle safety and intelligence.

The launch of BETASEAL™ ACE marks a critical step forward for DuPont in driving the automotive aftermarket towards greater safety, efficiency, and sustainability. By jointly promoting advanced materials and standardized installation techniques through the industry's most influential competition platform, DuPont and Fuyao are working together to accelerate the upgrade of China's automotive aftermarket towards enhanced safety, standardization, and intelligence.
