BETAFOAM™-CIR Acoustical Foam Systems

What is BETAFOAM™-CIR Acoustical Foam Systems?

Excessive noise and vibration can significantly affect product quality and user experience. Our BETAFOAM™ CIR Acoustical Foam Systems provide high performance in reducing noise and vibration in the Body-In-White cavities, making them ideal for automotive and industrial applications. By introducing circular feedstocks into our production, Dow produces BETAFOAM™ CIR Acoustical Foam Systems featuring up to 60% ISCC PLUS certified recycled material attributed through mass balance with an over 40% CO2 reduction compared to its virgin fossil based alternative(2).
