Composites are used in many different industries, from automotive to aerospace and from infrastructure to recreation.
Automotive — Polymer composites are used in several vehicle parts, including structural components, under hood and interior components, doors, seats, enclosures, bumper reinforcement, and body panels.
Like automotive applications, the lighter weight of polymer composites can increase fuel efficiency, resulting in reduced fuel costs for the airlines.

In addition to weight reduction and raw material
savings, Hydrocerol CFAs can provide several
other benefits that include:
• thermal and acoustic insulation
• increased stiffness-to-weight ratio
• elimination of warpage and sink marks
• more efficient processing
Automotive
Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are
particularly recommended for lightweighting
projects.
By reducing the weight of automotive
parts, they support the reduction of CO2 emissions.
