Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation

If a reinforced substrate material is used a high hardness abrasion resistant steel may be required. Most GLS materials overmolding materials are generally non-abrasive / non-corrosive and replicate the mold surface fairly well. In a balanced runner system, molten material flows into each cavity at equal times and pressure.
