Our innovative high-performance plastics are developed to meet a wide variety of technological challenges in automotive. Browse these pages to learn more about how our industry experts, scientists and engineers work hand in hand with our customers to develop next generation solutions.
As a major part of the vehicle, the chassis provides a significant opportunity for manufacturers to make better, safer, lighter, and more cost-efficient cars. Our next-generation thermoplastics replace traditional metals, other plastics, and rubber, while our team of application experts takes the time to understand your unique challenges and needs.
Whether it’s body plugs or major structural reinforcements to the chassis, we work side by side with OEM customers to develop customized solutions and lighter structural parts that change the face of the industry – no matter how complex and challenging the application field.
Traditional die-cast aluminum components are under pressure as the automotive industry seeks lighter, more efficient solutions to meet Euro 7 regulations and avoid heavy-car taxes. Metal replacement with high-performance plastics offers a compelling alternative—reducing weight by approximately 35% and cutting production costs by up to 40%.
These advanced materials not only match the mechanical demands but also offer greater design freedom for complex geometries and functional integration. In addition, plastic injection molding tools last up to 10 times longer than aluminum die-cast tools, further lowering total cost of ownership. With drop-in material solutions and up to 80% lower carbon footprint, it's time to challenge the role of die-cast in future mobility.
