SIKO PPA Successful cases of metal replacement

    With the rapid development of the automobile industry, especially the rapid development of new energy vehicles in recent years, the demand for light weight, integration, miniaturization and electrification of auto parts is also increasing. In the field of new energy, the lightweight of the body and battery can effectively improve the cruising range and energy utilization of new energy vehicles. Therefore, lightweight is one of the main directions of future automotive technology development.

    Replacing some metals with plastics can reduce weight by about 30%, provided the performance is met. SIKO has long produced high-performance polyamides for metal replacement materials for customers, which are characterized by high strength, water and oil resistant, high surface, hydrolysis resistant, high temperature resistance.
