Based on the application advantages of long glass fiber reinforced PP materials, its application in automobiles is also becoming more and more widespread. We can see parts using long glass fiber reinforced PP materials
on many new models of mainstream vehicles. Here we look at the long glass fiber reinforced PP applications from the long glass front module, door panel module, valve / openable grille shutter, integrated cover buffer block and headlight bracket, plastic tail door these large blocks.
Automotive front-end module
The 2005 version of the Volkswagen Polo used the first front-end module made of adhesive-bonded PP long fiberglass, which reduced the weight by 25% and saved more than 10%.
Automotive Door panel module
Avon Meritor, a global company specializing in the design and manufacture of automotive components, has produced the first highly integrated long-fiber glass PP plastic door module that can meet the performance requirements of global OEMs. Compared with steel door panel modules, weight loss 1.65kg, a weight reduction of 30%, at the same time integrating the number of parts and reducing the cost by 10%, can make each car lose 6kg weight.
Valve / Openable Grille Shutter
Long fiberglass PP is used in three new vehicle designs in14-year North American.
Integrated cover buffer block and headlight bracket
In 2013, Ford Mondeo (North America) equipped with long-glass fiber PP buffer blocks manufactured by Magna, integrated two metal parts on a plastic support, which can also reduce the impact acceleration of the head to meet pedestrian protection requirements.
Plastic tail door
2013 Renault Clio tailgate assembly design uses scratch-resistant/wear-resistant 15% talc-reinforced TPO, ENLITETM 40% long glass-reinforced PP for interior panels, and low linear expansion coefficient for painted exterior panels 30% talcum powder enhances TPO. The three-layer boards are PP materials that can be recycled and used to increase product value. At the same time, this is the first innovative application for the design and production of plastic tailgates, including components and functional integration, with diversified forms and weight reductions of more than 10%.
This tailgate design project involves a wide range of structural analysis, process simulator testing, including shrinkage/warping and glass length analysis, to optimize part/assembly performance. Structural selection, durability, dimensions (linear expansion coefficient) and appearance requirements in material selection; mold filling, shrinkage and warpage analysis in process simulation; structural and thickness design and important rib placement in component design Other considerations; tool design aspects are optimized for hot runners, gates, and cooling systems. During this process, the injection parameters are optimized and the screw is designed and optimized.
