At present, the consumption of polypropylene (PP) in the automotive industry represents approximately 15% of the total global consumption and the actual proportion of polypropylene in the plastic parts of an automobile is 50%.
The main advantages of polypropylene are mainly its low weight, low environmental impact of the manufacturing, easy processability and recyclability. Polypropylene can be found in automobiles in both external (bumpers, spoilers) and internal parts (dashboards, door panels, center consoles, etc.). Another possibility for using polypropylene composites in the automotive industry is the replacement of conventional metal stampings by conventional structural polymers and technical plastics.
In our portfolio, you can find several types of materials that are tailored to the automotive industry according to the specifications of the target customer.
