Industries
Car manufacturing may have started as mostly metal bashing, but today a huge range of chemicals is needed for antifreeze, hydraulic fluids, batteries, electronics, seating, trim, lighting - and the list goes on.
We know the industry
The automotive and transport industry is an important consumer of petrochemicals & plastic resins in construction, safety, comfort and performance.
Plastics used included polypropylene, polyurethanes, polyvinyl chloride, styrenics, ABS, polycarbonate, polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) for the bumpers, headlights, doors, windows, dashboards, headrests, airbags, upholstery, thermal and electrical insulation. Some of these plastics are subject to extreme heat and light, so plastics need to be resistant or use polymer stabilisers to prolong the life of the component.
The vehicle's weight is reduced with the use of plastics and, together with the addition of antioxidants to fuel and the use of lubricants, engine performance is improved and fuel consumption reduced.
