25317054THERMOPLASTICS MELT UPON HEATING WHILE THERMOSETTING ARE HARDER DONT MEL

T AND ARE MORE HEAT RESISTANT

TPO is Thermoplastic elastomers
around 125 kg of plastics is in a car
ford,gm are american , daimler benz and volkswagon are german and toyota is japa
nese
components and systems are supplied by tier1 companies
BLOW MOLDED FUEL TANKS - HDPE
ADDITIVES ARE LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CHEMICALS ADDED TO PLASTICS AND RUBBERS TO IM
PROVE
ULTRAVIOLET ABSORPTION,ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES ,FLAME RESISTANCE ETC
BLEND IS MIXING TWO POLYMERS TO GET THE GOOD PROPERTIES OF BOTH
CREEP IS SLOW DEFORMATION WITH TIME TO RELIEVE THE LOAD - PLASTICS ARE VISCOELAS
TIC
NO OF CYCLES A MATERIAL SUSTAINS BEFORE FAILURE IS CALLED FATIGUE
FILLERS ARE FINE POWDERS OF SILICA,TALCUM AND WOOD FLOUR ADDED TO POLYMER -MOSTL
Y PVC-\
TO REDUCE COST AND INCREASE SOMEWHAT THE STIFFNESS
PVC HAS FLAME RETARDNESS DUE TO CHLORINE ATOMS BUT PP BURNS -RULE IS FMVSS 302
FOAM - EXAMPLE POLYURETHANE FOAM IN SEAT AND HEADRESTS - PP FOAM IN SUNVISOR,IP
AND BUMPER PARTS
GLASS FIBRE IS THE MOST COMMON REINFORCEMENT 10 TO 50% TO ENHANCE STIFFNESS
GLASS
FIBRE CAN CAUSE ANISOTROPY-RESULTING IN WARPAGE
WEATHERABILITY IS RESISTANCE AGAINST OUTDOOR CONDITIONS-CARBONBLACK ABSORBS UV R
AYS
AND IS ADDED TO POLYMER
THERMOPLASTICS- HDPE IS CHEAP AND HAS GOOD CHEMICAL AND IMPACTE RESISTANCE
EXAMPLE IS BLOWMOLDED FUEL TANKS AND WHEEL ARCH LININGS
PP COPLOYMER BLENDED WITH EPDM IS CALLED TPO; REACTOR PRODUCED TPO OR R-TPO IS N
EW DEVELOPMENT
PP PLUS EPDM USED IN BUMPERS ,SPOILERS ,EXTERIOR TRIMS
VW PASSAT B5 AND GOLF 4 HAVE BUMPERS IN PP PLUS EPDM PLUS 10% FILLER
SOFT TPO - SKIN FOR DASHBOARD AND OTHER INTERIOR TRIMS
PAINTING MAY BE NEEDED TO IMPROVE SCRATCH RESISITANCE - PORSCHE BOXSTER
THEY EMIT LESS ORGANIC VOLATILES WHICH CONDENSE ON WINDSCREEN COMPARED TO PVC AN
D
PVC ABS BLENDS
DASHBOARD RIGID PARTS ARE TALCUM FILLED PP, COVERED BY PP FOAM AND TPO SKIN ON T
OP
AND THE SAME FOR DOOR PANELS - GOOD FOR RECYCLING REGULATIONS
NEW HONDA ACCORD - PVC SKIN WAS REPLACED BY TPO AND ABS MOULDINGS BY PP
HCPP - HIH CRYSTALLINE PP -VW GOLF 4 AND PASSAT B5 -ABC PILLARS MOULDED IN HCPP
BUMPER BEAM CORES USE EA PP FOAM -ENERGY ABSORBING ALSO IN SUNVISORS,KNEEBOLST
ERS,
IP ,HEADREST AND CHILD SEAT
PVC SLUSH MOLDIND IN IP COVERS -audi and vw
PLASTICISED PVC USED IN ELECTRICAL - WIRING SHEATHING
EXTRUDED PVC USED IN WINDOW SEALS AND SUNROOF SEALS AND FOR B/SIDE PROTECTION
PVc compounds are sprayd in underbody for rust prevention
TPO FOIL IN IPSKIN IN OPEL VECTRA
PS-POLYSTYRENE- EXPANDABLE PS OR EPS IS USED IN CAR ROOFLINERS
ABS - RIGID PARTS OF IPAND DOORS,CONSLOES,GLOVEBOXES,HVAC AND LOUDSPEAKER HOUSIN
G
EXTERIOR - RADIATOR GRILLE,WHEEL COVER,MIRROR - PAINTING IS NEEDED -IF CHROMEPLA
TED
NO PAINTING
ABS AT 30% RUBBER IS STILLUSED AS A COMPONENT OF PVC/ABS CALENDERED SHEET FOR DO
OR
AND IP SKINS
ABS/PC BLENDS FOR CONSOLES IP ,HVAC AND PILLAR TRIM
IP OF AUDI A4 IS IN ABS/PC/GF
JEEP CHEROKEE HAS AN IP IN STRAIGHT ABS/PC.
ASA CALENDERED SHEET USED IM M-BENZ AS IP SKIN MATERIAL
IT IS A VARIATION OF ABS
SAN USED IN INSTRUMENT COVERS AND KNOBS BECAUSE MATERIAL IS BRITTLE
SMA IS USED IN USA,IN IP BUT LESS IN EUROPE
173
OPEL OMEGA,SINTRA AN VECTRA HAVE SMA IPs COVERED WITH PUR FOAM AND SKIN
VW PASSAT VARAIANT HAS AN IP IN SMA WITH SLUSH PVDC SKIN
PA OR POLYAMIDES USED IN SENSORS ,CONNECTORS AND SWITCHES DUE TO HEAT RESISTANCE
PUR IS THERMOSETS - THERMOPLASTIC VERSION IS TPU OR THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE
PBT-PC BLEND USED IN BUMPERS IN COMPETITION WITH PP/EPDM WITH 10%FILLER
GOOD PAINTABILITY AND SHORTER MOULDING CYCLES.
PET USED IN SEAT COVERS
BOTTLE FOR SOFTDRINKS
LCP-LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMERS USED IN CONNECTORS
POM WITH IMPROVED UV RESISITANCE FOR DOOR HANDLES
FIAT PUNTO HAS TANK CAP IN SPECIAL UV STABILISED POM
VW GOLF HAS IP RIGID PART IN PPE/PS,WITH PVC SLUSH MOLDED SKIN
PPE/PS CANNOT USED FOR EXTERNAL PARTS UNLESS PAINTED BECAUSE OF ITS LIMITED
RESISTANCE TO UV RAYS
TPE-O IS A BLEND OF PP WITH EPDM RUBBER
REACTOR COPLOYMERISED POLYMERS WHEREBY THE RUBBER PART IS CHEMICALLY LINKED TO
PP MOLECULES DURING POLYMERISATION PHASE
PTFE IS TEFLON
STEERING WHEEL COVER MADE BY REACTION INJECTION MOLDING
FILLERS ARE IRREGULAR SHAPED SMALL PARTICLES < 3 MICRONS AND ASPECT RATIO > 1 AR
E ADDED
TO MAKE THE FINAL COMPOUND CHEAPER
BARIUM SULPHATE,PRECIPITATED CALCIUM CARBONATE OR GROUND CHALK,TALCUM,GLASS BEAD
S WOOD FLOUR
EXAMPLE IS PP PLUS EPDM WITH 10 TO 20 % TALCUM
TALCUM AND GLASS BEADS INCREASE TENSILE STRENGTH.
