Résumé : |
Polymer blends - For the roof rails on the current Opel Compact Estate it was decided to use a reinforced thermoplastic solution instead of aluminum. The Spanish automotive supplier SRG made the choice for the mineral fiber-reinforced PC+ABS blend, Pulse XT9215, from Trinseo. This material is the first in a range of PC+ABS formulations for lightweight, economically produced exterior automotive applications. |

- Suitable filler and low density
- Surface quality and material competition
- Material range for future exterior applications
- FIGURES : 1. Different fillers compared on the basis of stiffness/impact strength properties - 2. Influence of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE, from-30 to +30°C, as per ISO 11359-2) on component density - 3. Dependence of the final CLTE performance (-30 to30°C) of the material on the size of the injection molded part as determined in tests on an ISO test bar and test plaque (80x80x2 mm) ; comparison between Pulse XT215 (new filler), competitor MF20 (talc-filled) Pulse 2013 (talc-filled) and Pulse 2000 EZ (unfilled) - 4. Mold filling simulations help determine the optimum gating points positioning and filling sequences for a homogeneous, virtually stress-free molding
