Fenders, automotive polymers

Along with the more classical polymers some new ones have been developed for automotive use. Thus, GE developed Noryl GTX resins that are being used on the fenders of some cars including the Volkswagen New Beetle and Hummer H3. The Noryl GTX resins are alloys of PPO and nylon-6,6. [Pg.620]

The automotive industry started to use plastics in 1946. Since then, its content steadily increases (see Figure 16.4). Today, the plastics for automotive apphcations are dominated by polymer alloys, blends, and composites. The reason for it is the need for automotive parts to show a wide range of performance characteristics that are virtually impossible to meet using a single-component polymer. Thus, for example, in Saturn, front fenders and rear quarter panels are from PA/PPE, door outer skins are from PC/ABS, the bumper fascias are TPO, etc. [Pg.1124]
