What Makes TPE & PVC in Cars, Equipment & Other Vehicles So Useful?
The versatility of both PVC and TPE in cars, equipment and other vehicles allows for precise adjustments to their material properties to give the exact performance and quality requirements for specific, end-use applications. At Americhem, we use compounds like TPE and PVC for automotive applications to ensure our customers can benefit.
TPE & PVC Car Parts Can Help Vehicles Last Longer
In the 1970s, the average service life of a modern vehicle was 11 and a half years. Thanks to the unique properties of compounds like Americhem TPE and PVC parts for cars, it now stands at an average of 17 years. As the principal protector of underbody wear-resistant coating, sealants against humidity and other protective profiles, TPE and PVC thermoplastic car parts are invaluable for automotive manufacturers. The durability of PVC and TPE parts for cars has made them the first choices for cladding interior parts like dashboards and door panels.
TPE & PVC Thermoplastics for Automotive Applications Help Conserve Fossil Fuels
Both TPE and PVC parts for cars have comparatively low energy consumption during manufacturing, thereby reducing the depletion of natural resources compared to alternatives. TPE and PVC in cars can also contribute to a naturally low carbon footprint due to their lightness compared to traditional materials. In other words, the reduced weight of a vehicle helps reduce fuel consumption.
PVC & TPE For Automotive Applications Can Help Protect Lives
TPE and PVC thermoplastics are important in shock-absorbing vehicle components such as "soft" dashboards, used to reduce injury in the case of impact. Thermoplastic parts for cars are often used in life-saving vehicle airbags, and their fire retardant properties contribute to the overall safety of any vehicle.
TPE & PVC In Cars Can Increase Design Freedom
Americhem PVC and TPE for automotive interior and exterior applications allow even the most challenging designs to enhance a vehicle's comfort. Thermoplastic car parts can be made to showcase many attractive qualities of appearance and color.
TPE & PVC Increase Vehicle Affordability
PVC & TPE for agricultural equipment, trucks, recreational vehicles and more can give manufacturers excellent cost-performance advantages. As a result, using TPE and PVC in cars can grant more people greater access to higher-quality vehicles.
