International chemicals giant Lanxess recently shared the latest developments in the field of green mobility . LANXESS Business Unit Performance Materials (HPM) 's two product lines PA and PBT plastic play an important role in the car weight .

      In the car with plastic , the lighter vehicle components helps to reduce fuel consumption. Since the electronic driving system is much heavier than a conventional gasoline engine , is also important to reduce the weight of the future spread of electric vehicles.

      Polyamide (PA) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is used in modern automobile manufacturing multifunctional materials , the main purpose is to in-vehicle electronic devices, air and liquid lines , and lightweight body parts . With a light and firm , secure plastic to replace metal parts , can be reduced approximately 50% of body weight .

      Durethan (PA6 and PA66) and Pocan (PBT) is a business unit of LANXESS Performance Materials (HPM) 's two plastic product line. In the automotive industry , Pocan and Durethan are increasingly being used as a weight material instead of metal , especially in this part of the hood . In addition, LANXESS production materials can also be used directly for fasteners , guides , contact surface for molding and many other features , as well as engine bearings , door structure , vehicle front and seat beams and other components using injection molding .

      From the point of view of materials , polyamide PA6 and PA66 having a high mechanical strength and stiffness , good electrical insulation properties, excellent heat resistance , chemical resistance and resistance to abrasion resistance, superior abrasion resistance and dry operation performance, noise and vibration absorption performance . This material is also beneficial to simplify logistics and reduce production costs.
