Polymer automotive materials have many advantages over traditional materials. It is mainly reflected in light weight, good appearance and decoration effect, a variety of practical application functions, good physical and chemical properties, easy processing and molding, energy conservation, sustainable utilization and so on. The main characteristics of polymer automotive materials are as follows.
1. Light weight
One of the outstanding advantages of polymer automotive material is its light weight and high strength. Since the average proportion of various plastics is only 15-20% of that of ordinary steel, it is also lighter than that of ordinary wood. This feature has outstanding advantages for high-end large cars, which can reduce a lot of self weight.
2. Good processing performance
Polymer automotive materials have very good processability. Due to the plasticity of polymer automotive materials and their good compatibility with other materials, polymer automotive materials with different shapes, properties, colors and functions can be processed by extrusion, injection molding, calendering, molding, blow molding and other methods with the help of different material components and various modern molding machines.such as direct extrusion into heat resistant hoses, profiles and plates.
3. Excellent comprehensive physical and chemical properties
Another advantage of polymer automotive materials is that they have a variety of functions and can be used in special occasions. In addition to plasticity, most polymer materials also have many excellent physical and chemical properties. Plastics have good insulation performance, excellent anti-corrosion performance, aging resistance, good wear and washing resistance, good waterproof performance, mechanical properties and good bonding performance. They are processed into various automobile interior and exterior trim parts requiring a variety of properties and functions.
4. Excellent decorative effect
The most outstanding advantage of polymer automotive materials is excellent decorative effect. It can be processed into products with complex shapes and multiple colors at one time. Sometimes it also needs printing, coating, embossing, lamination and coloring. It can be processed into very realistic images, patterns and patterns. It can imitate the texture of natural wood, metal and animal skin, and can also be bronzed, coated, silvered and inlaid on the surface.
5. Energy conservation and environmental protection
Another advantage of polymer automotive materials is that they can save energy and promote environmental protection. Because it can replace a large number of natural materials, it can save a lot of resources, protect forest and stone resources, and do not damage more ecological environment. It has the social value of energy conservation and environmental protection significance.Most of the plastics used in automobile materials are thermoplastics. Their waste materials can be easily recycled and directly remanufactured.
