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.
