Compression moulding is very suitable for the production of structural parts, like front-ends and trunk wells. Products made of plastics with (endless) glass fibres or glass mats have very good mechanical properties like strength and stiffness. Therefore, they can be an excellent alternative for body parts of steel.
A reduction of weight and therefore a reduction of carbon emissions is the main advantage. Obviously, our engineering team performs extensive strength calculations to guarantee the technical feasibility of a product.
