• Grille guard garners top automotive accolade
  , Minn., says this is the first time an automotive OEM opted for an insert molding of this type and size. Traditional guards are built either by welding an assortment of tubes followed by a powder coat; or by cutting, bending, and either welding or mechanically fastening a tube assembly to a steel...

  , extruded ropes or logs, bulk-molding compound, flake, and puttylike sheets. Except for the putty grades, which may be used for encapsulation, these compounds contain fibrous reinforcement. Generally, the fiber reinforcement in rope and logs is longer than that in granular compounds and shorter than...
• Case History: New Plant Incorporates Tried-and-True Feeders
  to toll-process for various companies. The company produces polycarbonate resins (PCs), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrenes (ABSs), polybutylene terephthalate (PBTs), and various polycarbonate alloys. These products, most of them proprietary compounds, are used in various applications in the automotive, consumer...
• Thermoplastic Composites
  ) sometimes have higher glass contents. Most molding compounds, for best cost/performance ratios, contain 20 to 40% glass. Practically all thermoplastic resins are available in glass-reinforced compounds. Those used in largest volumes are nylon, polypropylene, polystyrene, ABS, and SAN, probably because...
• GE brings more good resins to life
  . "It is a recyclable alternative to bulk-molding compounds (BMCs) in automotive applications. And has better optics and moldability than competing thermoset resins.". A high-flow HPP, Ultem ATX200, reportedly has three times the flow at lower molding temperatures than current ATX resins...
• Plastics Processing Applications: Long Fiber Thermoplastics
  Reinforced Thermoplastics (LFT) have excellent mechanical properties and stiffness-to-weight ratio which is of great interest to the automotive industry. These in-line compounding processes for long fiber material offer users more flexibility, as they are able to both compound and process such materials...
