Automotive Industry
High-strength engineering plastics for spare parts, interior/exterior trim and engine components.
The automotive sector is where demand for plastic raw materials is both highest and technically most demanding. Continuous high temperature under the hood, the surface quality expected in interior trim and the UV resistance required for exterior parts call for very different material properties.
Weight reduction targets have accelerated the replacement of metal parts with engineering plastics. With the spread of electric vehicles, demand has risen markedly for flame retardant compounds with high electrical insulation for battery components, charging systems and high-voltage connectors.
