The Challenge: Consider a market-leading tier 1 supplier that needed to improve the strength of the front-end module to prevent the vehicle hood latch from opening in a crash. By replacing the metal plate and integrating the Polystrand material into the molded part, the supplier saved 8 pounds of overall vehicle weight. 

Today’s materials technology now allows suppliers to create automotive components with unprecedented palettes. Instrument panels and headliners can be created in virtually every color of the visible spectrum, giving suppliers the ultimate design freedom to create parts such as bright orange seats to match a sports car’s bright orange exterior.
