Weight saving opportunities and lower CO2 emissions in automotive oil systems

 
In order to meet existing and future ever-growing concerns regarding CO2 emission, car manufacturers are seeking solutions to reduce parts weight and manage energy savings.

Achieve weight reduction using glass-filled PA6.6

Metal replacement is an efficient and well-known way to achieve up to 50% part weight reduction. On top of that, the TECHNYL® polyamide range includes dedicated grades for microcellular foam molding (MuCell®), giving an additional 10% weight reduction. Last but not least, the MuCell® technology provides cycle time reduction and manufacturing productivity.

You definitely combine lower CO2 emission and competitiveness with the TECHNYL® polyamides.

Would you like to understand how you could reach up to 50% part weight reduction? Are you interested in reducting cycle time and increasing productivity? Do you need support in implementing the MuCell® technology?
