For example, Johnson Controls, which makes automotive seating, overhead systems, door and instrument panels, and interior electronics, is incorporating more nonwovens into its automotive components owing to their high-speed production, low cost, easy-to-mould nature, and ability to make composite materials. Examples of where nonwovens can be used in cars can be seen in Fig. 9.3. 

Applications Office equipment (fax mechanical parts, inc. rollers, keyboard key-plungers). Audio-video equipment parts (noiseless gears). Automotive parts (seat belt components, stabilizer bushes). Film process and vending machine bearings. Houseware (runners for furniture). Valve parts. Rails. Rollers for automatic massagers. ... 

The automotive industry favours sets of parts assembled by the plastic furnisher and including non-plastic elements such as metal components, electronics. .. This simplifies purchasing and on-line operations. For example, a seat module includes the frame, cushioning, slide system, position control device. .. 

One of the more advertized advances in commercial offering of polyurethanes from renewable resources was the introduction of soy-based polyol in the 2008 Ford Mustang [180, 181]. Ford partnered with Lear Corp. to produce automotive seats containing up to 40% soy-based polyol. This was hailed as a throw-back to the early days of Ford Motor Company, when Henry Ford incorporated as much as 60 pounds of soybeans into paint components and molded body parts for the Model T. 

The chemical industry consists of hundreds of segments with an estimated 70,000 different product lines manufactured by more than 1,000 large and midsized companies, plus countless very small ones. The sector can be characterized as consisting of many mini industries of varying sizes, and it counts virtually every other industry among its customers - from agriculture to construction and electronics (Fig. 1.2). The automotive industry, for example, relies on several different chemicals in the production of tires, seats, dashboards, and coatings, to name only a few major components.

Applications. Silicon nitride is die leading material for components in advanced automotive, diesel, and gas turbine engines. The range of potentially useful ceramic parts includes both static structural components and dynamic ones such as turbocharger rotors, gasifier turbine rotors, valves, valve guides, valve seats, piston components, cam followers, fuel injector links, and bearings. Some of these parts have been commercialized, others are... 

For hard facing, they are used either as welding rods or as powders atomized from a homogeneous melt. Hard facing is applied to valves, valve seats, bearings, elevators, rock crushers, mixing components, marine propeller shafts, automotive water or fuel piunp shafts, knives, and blades. 

Western-world bauxite production in 1988 totaled about 90 x 10 t, approximately 90% of which was refined to aluminum hydroxide by the Bayer process. Most of the hydroxide was then calcined to alumina and consumed in making aluminum metal. The balance, which constituted about 2.3 x 10 t in 1988 (Table 2), was consumed in production of abrasives (qv) adhesives (qv) calcium aluminate cement used in binding ceramics (qv) and refractories (qv) catalysts used in petrochemical processes and automobile catalytic converter systems (see Petroleum Exhaust control, automotive) ceramics that insulate electronic components such as semiconductors and spark plugs chemicals such as alum, aluminum halides, and zeoHte countertop materials for kitchens and baths cultured marble fire-retardant filler for acryhc and plastic materials used in automobile seats, carpet backing, and insulation wrap for wire and cable (see Flame retardants) paper (qv) cosmetics (qv) toothpaste manufacture refractory linings for furnaces and kilns and separation systems that remove impurities from Hquids and gases.

E-coat is used in thousands of everyday products. One of the major users is the automotive industry where the vast majority of car bodies are primed using this process. The electrocoat primer is what protects your car from msting and allows for the extended corrosion warranties available today. Other uses in the automotive industry include steering gear parts, engine blocks, seat components, radiators, mirror brackets and trailers.

While the polyketone terpolymer derived from carbon monoxide, ethylene, and propylene is economical with some attractive properties, such as heat, chemical, permeation, and abrasion resistance, it suffers from low-impact strength. One cost-effective approach to overcoming this shortcoming and upgrading its performance profile for automotive applications such as wheel covers, wheel caps, fuel filter necks, fuel tanks, fuel tubes, center fascias, door handles, roof rack covers, gears, junction boxes, connectors, and seat backs, as well as electric/electronic components and durable household items involves blending with polyamides including a rubber modification (Lee et al. 2013).
