Results for tag: "Automotive Thermoplastic Polymer Composites"

Automotive Thermoplastic Polymer Composites (ATPC) are a type of plastic composite material used in the automotive industry. ATPCs are composed of a thermoplastic matrix reinforced with fibers, such as glass, carbon, or aramid. The thermoplastic matrix provides the composite with excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and stiffness, as well as good fatigue and impact resistance. ATPCs are lightweight, recyclable, and cost-effective, making them an attractive option for automotive applications. ATPCs are used in a variety of automotive components, such as body panels, interior trim, and under-the-hood components. They are also used in the production of lightweight components, such as bumpers and spoilers, which can improve fuel efficiency. ATPCs are also used in the production of electric vehicles, as they can reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve its range. Some companies in the ATPC market include BASF, Covestro, SABIC, Teijin, and Toray. Show Less Read more
