Question:

Can automobile panels be made entirely of plastic instead of metal?

Can automobile panels be made entirely of plastic instead of metal?

Answer:

Filling is filled, toughened by inorganic materials toughened by elastomer modified PP material, has outstanding advantages of high modulus, rigidity and good heat resistance, good dimensional stability, overcome the general contraction PP material rate, low thermal deformation temperature, mechanical durability poor, widely used in the manufacture of the car inside and outside decoration such as, dashboard, door trim board, water tank cover etc..
Toughened PP, which is mainly made of elastomer, has a high impact strength and low temperature toughness. It is mainly used to make automobile bumpers, and adding toughening agents can achieve good results.
PP material filled with high content of inorganic filler, can greatly improve the rigidity, thermal stability and size of general PP materials, mainly used for non structural parts manufacturing of high temperature resistance, such as guard ring, heater casing etc..
