AGORACOM NEWS FLASH

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Sticking it to vehicle weight: Bayer's materials contribute to enhanced styling, reduced vehicle weight


Pittsburgh, November 15, 2012 — Plastics and adhesives are playing an increasing role in helping automakers reduce weight and enhance vehicle aesthetics inside and out.

Bayer's diverse portfolio of lightweight materials and technologies can be used in numerous automotive applications, including composite underbodies, roof modules, load floors, exterior body panels, window glazing, headliners and interior components to help automakers reduce vehicle weight while retaining style and safety. Lightweight, multi-material vehicles require bonding technologies to handle the diverse material mix, and two-component polyurethane adhesives are well-suited for this task.

Bruce Benda, vice president, Automotive and Transportation, Bayer MaterialScience LLC, shared his insights about the trends for lightweight materials and bonding technologies in his presentation "Material Considerations and Making Them Stick in Lightweighting Technologies," during the 2nd annual Plastics in Lightweight Vehicles conference. During the conference, Benda also participated in an automotive panel discussion.
