Application of plastics in automobile industry is still in its infancy

For plastic processing enterprises, the automotive industry the application of plastic, are opportunities and challenges.

First, the pursuit of car manufacturing automobile lightweight, which requires plastic processing enterprises to improve technology, produce need auto manufacturing plastic products, to meet the needs of automobile manufacturing of automobile lightweight, expand their markets, and can get higher yields.

In addition, the pursuit of automotive lightweight car manufacturing, also raised the threshold of the plastic products industry, some primary plastic recycling processing enterprises will be forced to transition, or will be eliminated.

For China, the application of plastics in automobile industry is still in its infancy, obviously lags behind that of developed countries, this also gives the primary plastic processing enterprises, can grow up with the auto industry, some advanced technology and equipment introduced from abroad, timely adjust the distribution of their products, to produce high value-added products, to have a more broad space for development.

Data show that the dosage of plastics at present a lot of cars in the world is now more than 120 kg/m, individual cars, such as Germany Benz advanced plastic usage has reached 150 kg/cars; Some domestic car plastic consumption also has reached 90 kg/m. At present, the developed countries have how much the amount of the automobile in plastic, as a measure of vehicle design and manufacturing level of an important symbol.

In many parts of the car are made of various features of plastic, such as bumper, fender, wheel cover, and so on, these plastic materials on the strength of the car and under the premise of safety performance, as much as possible to reduce the curb weight of the car, not only improve the power performance of the car, and can reduce fuel consumption, to reduce the exhaust pollution.
