Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

Supplier HellermannTyton switched to heat-stabilized Bergamid™ B70 G30H Black TM-X polyamide to produce a seat fastener at lower cost, lower weight and with greater design flexibility

Create a new olefinic material for an HVAC door flap that would remove weight and withstand copper deposits in a luxury vehicle for an exclusive German automaker. However, in this case, designers had reduced the thickness of the part wall significantly to achieve a relative weight saving of 90 percent. In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low cycle time with improved processability and tailored crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic parts.

The exceptional strength-to-weight ratio provides lightweight yet strong structural performance for increased payloads. Areal Weight (lb/ft²)

These panels are designed and customized to maximize performance and minimize weight. Superior strength to weight ratio vs. other materials such as wood and aluminum
