SCG Chemicals, or SCGC, along with Grand Siam Composite Company, or GSC, has developed high-quality SCGC™ PP P1088J plastic pellets to meet the requirements of new-generation automotive parts designed to reduce weight, save energy, and address sustainability by minimizing carbon emissions into the environment.
In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, one significant trend is the development of lightweight automotive parts in both conventional and electric vehicles (ICE & EV). There is a growing need to reduce vehicle weight to enhance energy efficiency, increase mileage, save energy, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Manufacturers are incorporating more plastic materials into their automotive parts’ designs, creating larger and more complex parts with reduced thickness and good aesthetic surfaces while maintaining strength for safety standards. The use of SCGC™ PP P1088J polypropylene copolymer plastic material incorporate the parts to meet these demands.
With a focus on enhancing automotive component quality and environmental friendliness, SCGC and GSC innovate SCGC™ PP P1088J resin to offer high strength, good flowability, and support complex designs for lightweight properties and thin wall capabilities, and aesthetic surfaces. The Flexural Modulus value of SCGC™ PP P1088J is 30% higher than conventional polypropylene materials, improving strength and dimension stability while having a high Melt Flow Rate for ease of injection molding. The use of SCGC™ PP P1088J can reduce weight of a car bumper by up to 15% compared to a standard bumper, presenting a significant advantage for the automotive industry striving to enhance energy efficiency by reducing vehicle weight.
With these properties, SCGC™ PP P1088J is a great option for automotive manufacturers seeking high-quality, strong, environmentally friendly components to align with the industry trend of lightweight automotive parts in conventional and electric vehicles.
