Resin Technology for Lighter Weight Vehicles

Product catalog summary

Composites’ Competitive Edge
Composites offer significant weight reduction, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions compared to metals and thermoplastics. This not only improves marketability but also sustainability.

Polymers Engineered to Last
Atryl TCA polymers are thermoset, designed for long-term durability, extending the benefits of fuel efficiency and emission reduction. At the end of a vehicle's life, these composites can be recycled using existing or new technologies.

Mass Reduction for Cars and Trucks
AOC technologies have been producing durable composite automotive parts for decades. Modern advancements provide lighter composites, crucial for meeting stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFÉ) standards.

Atryl® TCA Leads the Way
Atryl® TCA is a leader in automotive composites, offering Class A sheet molding composite (SMC) that is 30% lighter than steel. It provides weight savings comparable to aluminum and magnesium, with benefits such as improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

SMC Versus Metals

Non-corrosive and resistant to chemicals, solvents, and fuels.
Thermal and electrical insulation properties.
Design flexibility and shorter manufacturing cycles.
Improved life cycle economics and parts consolidation.

SMC Versus Thermoplastics

Dimensional stability across temperatures.
Retains smoothness and sag resistance at high paint cure temperatures.
Superior low-temperature impact properties.

SMC Density and Mass Reduction
Standard SMC has a specific gravity of 1.9 with a 30% mass reduction compared to steel. Medium density SMC offers a 38% reduction, while low density provides a 46% reduction.

Contact Information
Global sales contacts are available for North America, Latin America, Middle East, Europe, India, and Asia/Australia. AOC's headquarters are located in Collierville, TN, USA.
