Dark-colored automotive exterior plastic parts exposed to the sun are submitted to temperature raising. This can lead to part deformation. To allow heat reflection, CoolTouch™ technology has been developped. Learn more in this Solution DataSheet.
The challenge for seal manufacturers as well as integrated connector manufacturers is meeting ever-increasing demand for system cost savings without sacrificing on the quality and performance of these parts
Learn about the new heat-reflecting molding compound for dark-colored plastic parts that do not heat up, even in strong sunlight
New nylon powder that allow a higher surface aspect and provides plastic mimics to the prototype
Used as additives, Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPUs) make PVC parts tougher, more flexible at low temperatures, as well as more abrasion resistant.
Find out how PMMA Molding Compounds can fit your design requirements for all opaque automotive applications: mirror housings, pillar covers, etc.
New solutions based on Polyamide 66 specifically designed for blow molding applications can advantageously replace metal since they allow higher part complexity, lower weight and ultimately, system cost reduction.
Mecaplast switched to Innov'PA powder for their Selective Laser Sintering production
Meet current trends in automotive interiors for soft, warm finishes, with Celcon® and its low-gloss effect.
What are the solutions to manage safety and reduce cost in the automotive field?
Solutions for parts weight reduction and energy savings in Automotive Under-the-Hood.
In the automotive industry, manufacturers are focusing on using lighter and aesthetic materials to fulfill their design requirements without sacrificing top quality.
When metal is replaced with Akulon® PA6 in pedals, system cost is lowered through part and function integration, easier assembly and longer tool life.

Arnitel® covers your safety, even at extreme temperatures
An airbag is considered as one of the most important parts of a vehicle's occupant restraint system. In combination with seat belts and other positioned safety systems, the airbag must respond to a vehicle crash within milliseconds.
Air bubble films are commonly used to protect objects from damage by mechanical forces. A drawback of regular bubble film, is the fact that the air pressure in the bubble decreases as a function of time, because of poor barrier properties of the polyethylene used. A solution is the application of Akulon® PA6, e.g. Akulon® F132-E, as barrier material in a coextruded multi layer film.
When compared to metals, Akulon® PA6 offers the possibility of lower system costs through part and function integration, easier assembly and longer tool life for air inlet manifolds. Akulon® PA6 offers a higher burst pressure resistance and gives more economical solutions than PA66.
