November 5, Wanhua Chemical with ""Automotive lightweight modified plastics and environmental protection material solutions"" appeared in the ""10th CPRJ Automotive Plastics Technology Forum and exhibition"". Wanhua Chemical focuses on the three development directions of low density, thin wall and foam materials, especially the application of thin wall lightweight technology, low density environmental protection materials, topological design weight reduction and 3D printing technology.

Every 10% reduction in the weight of fuel vehicles can reduce fuel consumption by 6-8%, and achieve a 4% reduction in emission value. For pure electric vehicles, lightweight is the future direction of development, the vehicle weight is reduced by 10kg, and the driving range can be increased by 2.5km. In addition, lightweight can greatly improve the acceleration performance of the car and greatly shorten the braking distance."" ""Energy saving and low emission"", ""safety"" and ""enhanced driving pleasure"" have become synonymous with lightweight.

In order to meet the needs of downstream customers for automotive lightweight, Wanhua Chemical has proposed an overall solution for automotive lightweight in the field of automotive modified plastics.

low density series

compared with traditional material of PP + EPDM - TD20, Wancom® PPT1101N modified PP material in the premise of maintaining material rigidity and impact strength, the density of 1.04g/cm³ To 0.94g/cm³ , can achieve about 10% weight reduction, can be applied to door panels and other components.

thin-wall series

Wancom® PPT3202E and Wancom® PPT3402E modified PP material has achieved the perfect combination of high flow, high modulus and high impact, which can meet the forming of 2.0-2.5mm wall thickness parts, and can achieve about 15~30% weight reduction compared with ordinary 2.8mm wall thickness materials, which are used for bumper, column, door panel and other parts.

with plastic instead of steel series

Wancom® PPT1608C modified PP material CLTE as low as 4.5× 10-51/K (-30~80¡æ), can replace metal parts, achieve about 20% weight reduction effect, can be used for door panels, grille, fender and other parts.

Wancom® PPL0602H and Wancom® PPL0802H long glass fiber reinforced PP products have extremely high rigidity, good impact resistance and ultra-low shrinkage, can replace metal parts, achieve about 30% weight reduction effect, used for front-end modules, tail door skeleton, bumper skeleton and other components.

foamed PP series

Wancom® PPT3204N modified PP product adopts closed mold foam injection molding, high strength bubble structure to ensure the overall performance of the material under the premise of lightweight, used for columns and door panels and other components.

Automotive lightweight is the inevitable trend of automotive development in the future, the key to automotive lightweight is the use of lightweight, safe, high-performance materials. Wanhua Chemical is closely focused on high-performance and high-tech modified plastic products, and is committed to providing downstream customers with customized overall solutions for automotive lightweight materials to enhance the market competitiveness of customers' final products!
