Engineering plastics reduce vehicle weight, improving fuel efficiency while offering greater design flexibility. When replacing metal, they provide corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and electrically insulating components—features that are particularly important for electric vehicles.
In the automotive industry, plastics deliver essential benefits such as lightness, chemical resistance, and high mechanical strength. While molding is the preferred method for mass production, semi-finished products are widely used in production lines and in handling fixtures for machined components.
Advantages:
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Easy manufacturing of complex designs
- Lightweight, low-density construction
- High machinability and processability
- Suitable for bunkers and line coatings in product handling
- Outstanding resistance to chemicals
Applications:
- Instrument panels, interior trim, mirror housings, and exterior body panels
- Air ducts, pump housings, and under-hood components
- Gears, bushings, and clips in moving assemblies
- Battery insulation and electrical connector components
