CLOSED MOLD RESINS SUSTAINABLE WORLD Weight Reduction Fuel Efficiency Reduced Emissions

Weight Loss for Cars and Trucks Composite technologies make automotive parts lighter and help manufacturers keep pace with the challenging Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. AOC works with industry partners to bring lighter-weight fare to the CAFE menu. Thinner, lighter components have equal or better strength and stiffness through the use of: • lower density fillers and additives • and, ultimately carbon fiber reinforcement. Atryl® TCA Leads the Way AOC leadership in automotive composites starts with conventional Atryl® TCA for automotive Class A sheet molding composite (SMC),...

Composites’ Competitive Edge Weight reduction improves fuel efficiency and lowers emissions. Choosing composites over metals or thermoplastics adds performance features that improve marketability as well as sustainability. SMC versus Metals • Will not corrode from weather and de-icers • Resists chemicals, solvents and fuels • Resists dents and dings • Thermal and electrical insulating properties • Acoustic insulation for improved NVH • Design freedom for function and style • Shorter design-to-manufacturing cycle • Less energy to produce a finished part • Improved life cycle economics SMC versus...
