In the past, cars used steel plate alloy and other materials to make the car body, which is both clumsy and high cost. because plastic has the advantages of beauty, lightweight, easy processing, and so on, it has become an important material for car body manufacturing.
So what are the common plastics in cars?
1. PA (nylon).
Nylon is mainly used in automobile engines and engine peripheral parts, such as reinforced flame retardant PA6 and so on.
2 、 PBT.
PBT is widely used in the production of the bumper, carburetor components, fender, spoiler, spark plug terminal board, fuel supply system parts, dashboard, automobile igniter, accelerator and clutch pedal, and other automotive parts. The competition between PBT and enhanced PA, PC, and POM in the automobile industry is very fierce.
3 、 POM.
The biggest market for the use of POM is the automotive industry. POM has the advantages of being lightweight, high hardness, wear resistance, creep resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance. it is commonly used in automobile pumps, carburetor components, oil pipes, power valves, bearings, motor gears, cranks, handles, dashboards, car window lift devices, electric switches, seat belt buckles, and so on. Wear-resistant parts are the strengths of modified POM.
4 、 PC.
Modified PC is mostly used in the automobile field, which has the characteristics of heat resistance, impact resistance, high rigidity, and high flow. It is often used in automobile exterior decoration parts, dashboard surrounding parts, anti-freezing companions, door handles, brackets, steering column jackets, decorative panels, air conditioning system accessories, lamp parts, and so on.
Take a look at what plastics are used in our cars. We can’t live without plastic everywhere. Almost everything we see, there is plastic. Can you give me some examples?
