√ The first lightweight third row freestanding seat back √ Solution helps new cars lose 30% weight and save 15% cost over their predecessor Lightweight parts have been successfully applied and applied to the new 2021 cars. The new model, due to go on sale in the second half of this year, has managed to reduce body weight with a lightweight component on the back of the third-row chair. The third-row back of the previous generation of cars was made up of 15 different steel components, and the body was very heavy. So hopefully the 2021 third row seats will meet all performance criteria while being lighter and more cost competitive. "Being lighter does not necessarily mean being more expensive," the researchers said. Compared with the previous generation model, during the research and development of the new model, we not only achieved a 30% reduction in the weight of the third row seat, but also saved 15% of the cost. These goals are achieved because we have many great partners." The resin parts of traditional car seats contain metal reinforcement, which increases the cost of the process. The hope is to obtain a whole injection parts without complex, expensive processing. To meet the requirements, an exclusive 35% fiberglass reinforced, impact-resistant modified polyamide PA6 product was used along with its proprietary computer simulation (CAE) tool that can be used in multiple stages of development. Basf's proprietary computer simulation (CAE) tools "I classify the third row seat design of the 2021 Toyota Senna as an enabling technology," said the developer. It is the first all-injection molded seat back of its kind to be designed without any inserts, and one of the design challenges was to ensure the seat had high elongation and impact resistance to meet crash-avoidance requirements. "At the same time, we focused on the strength and stiffness of the seats, because the third row also supports the floor." Contact us, we will offer you the best materials with the best price.

Sales of new energy vehicles increased significantly Make the concept of "car lightweight" It's hot again. A variety of modified plastics, composite materials and light alloy materials are increasingly mature, not only in the traditional automobile engine around, but also in the power battery of new energy vehicles, there are a variety of plastic applications. But these plastics do not perform well on the safety issue of flame retardancy. Flame retardant and its related industries along with "automobile lightweight" become the hot spot of the automobile industry. Development direction of flame retardant plastics for auto parts At present, the common types of flame retardant materials used in automotive parts are PP, PA, PU, PC, ABS materials, as well as a variety of modified materials and composite materials composed of them. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have added battery modules, charging piles and charging guns and other components. ➡️ The amount of engineering plastics used for battery pack module of a single new energy vehicle is about 30kg. The plastic shell of new energy vehicle mainly uses modified PP, modified PPS, PPO and other high temperature resistant plastics. ➡️ Charging piles require engineering plastics due to high usage standards and harsh operating environment. Each charging pile needs about 6kg engineering plastics. At present, PBT, PA and PC are commonly used. When preparing flame retardant plastics, most of them will increase their limiting oxygen index LOI to about 25-35%, so as to effectively improve the overall safety index of vehicles. In addition, with the current combination of electrification and carbon neutrality, plastics and various flame retardants containing halogens will be more restricted. Therefore, the future development direction of flame retardant plastics, in addition to the need for sufficient mechanical properties to meet the lightweight demand, in electric vehicles and other fields will also need materials to pay attention to the electrical, processing, environmental protection requirements Flame retardants will develop towards the direction of halogen-free and high performance, while the research focus of high performance flame retardants will develop towards the direction of complex co-effect flame retardants, halogen-free flame retardants, expansion flame retardants, superrefinement, nano technology, high efficiency surface chemical modification technology and multi-functional technology. Application of flame retardant materials in automobile parts At present, the flame-retardant plastics mainly used are PP, PU, ABS and PC. According to the special needs of automobile parts, composites (alloying), PA, PBT and PMMA are also used accordingly. Flame retardant PP PP is the largest amount of automotive plastic polymer material, has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, and the processing process is simple, low cost. Widely used in automobile instrument panel, battery pac...

Long Glass Fiber reinforced polypropylene plastic refers to the modified polypropylene composite material which contains the glass fiber length between 10 and 25mm. After injection molding and other processes, the three-dimensional structure is formed. It is also called Long Glass Fiber polypropylene, or LGFPP. There are also many materials at home and abroad referred to Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic as LFT, that is, the abbreviation of long-fiber reinforce thermoplastic. From the material definition, LGFPP belongs to a kind of LFT. Material characteristics Microstructure determines macro performance, so 10~25mm long glass fiber reinforced plastics (LGFPP) compared with ordinary 4~7mm short glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFPP) has higher strength, stiffness, toughness, dimensional stability, low warpage. In addition, long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene has better creep resistance than short glass fiber reinforced polypropylene even if it is subjected to 100℃. On the injection molding product, the long glass fiber interleaved into a three-dimensional network structure, even after the polypropylene substrate is burned, the long glass fiber network still forms a certain strength of the glass fiber skeleton, while the short glass fiber after burning generally into a non-strength fiber skeleton. This is mainly because the ratio of length to diameter of reinforced fiber determines the reinforcement effect. The critical length to diameter ratio is L/D. The packing and short glass fiber with the critical length to diameter ratio less than 100 have no reinforcement effect, while the long glass fiber with the critical length to diameter ratio less than 100 has the reinforcement effect. Compared with metal materials and thermosetting composites, the density of long glass fiber plastics is low, and the weight of the same parts can be reduced by 20~50%. Long glass fiber plastics can provide designers with greater design flexibility, such as forming parts with complex shapes, integrating the number of parts used, saving the cost of the mold (generally the cost of long glass fiber plastic injection mold is about 20% of the cost of metal stamping mold). Reduce energy consumption (production energy consumption of long glass fiber plastics is only 60~80% of steel products, 35~50% of aluminum products), simplify the assembly process. What are the typical application parts of automobile Based on the application advantages of long glass fiber material, it has been applied more and more widely in automobiles. In the mainstream models and new models, we have seen more and more of the following parts are made of long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene material. Long fiber reinforced polypropylene is used in car dashboard body frame, battery bracket, front end module, control box, seat support frame, spare placenta, fender, chassis cover plate, noise partition, rear door frame, etc. The following, a few long glass fiber plastic typical application parts a...

Glass fiber is a very common material in the chemical industry, often used to make reinforced plastics or reinforced rubber. Because of its own temperature resistance, flame retardant, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, high tensile strength, good electrical insulation characteristics, master material after adding glass fiber can significantly improve the heat resistance and mechanical strength of the material. ABS and glass fiber increase the thermal deformation temperature and mechanical properties of the product, and reduce the shrinkage rate of molding and linear expansion coefficient. It is often used to manufacture products requiring higher dimensional accuracy. ABS material is a kind of "tough, hard and rigid" material with easy access to raw materials, good comprehensive performance, cheap price and wide use. It has good rigidity, hardness and processing fluidity. In machinery, electrical, textile, automobile, aircraft, ships and other manufacturing industry and chemical industry has been widely used. On the other hand, the thermal deformation temperature of ABS resin is low, easy to burn, and the heat resistance of ABS resin is also much different from that of other materials. How to improve the performance of ABS material to meet the needs of industry has become a concern of many people. Although the impact strength of ABS decreases obviously compared with that of pure ABS after adding glass fiber, the rigidity, heat resistance and dimensional stability of ABS are significantly improved.
