- A Lightweight Body in White Hybrid Reinforcement Solution
This unique pairing combines the long-term dimensional stability, low water absorption, low specific gravity and heat resistance of PPE with the chemical resistance and flow of PA polymer. The result is a highly chemically resistant material with the stiffness, strength, and impact resistance required for metal/plastic hybrid solutions in Body in White applications.
- Potential Benefits of Noryl Gtx™ Resin in Plastic/Metal Hybrid Solutions
- Comparable performance to high-strength steel designs
- Up to 30-40% mass reduction from each reinforcement
- Ease of assembly
- Up to 5-10 kgs total weight saving potential from 10-12 reinforcements in BIW
- Critical property retention following e-coat
- Potential system cost savings vs. multiple steel components
- Can withstand a broad range of temperature extremes from 220°C during assembly to -40°C during in-use applications
