Plastic industry honors innovative parts
a 43-piece metal running-board assembly. Designers teamed with molder, Winona, Minn., to drop over 30 lb per vehicle on P131 Super Cabs with the specially formulated polypropylene, long-glass-fiber-reinforced composite. The UV-resistant composite reportedly exceeds the metal requirements by a factor

Hard rules for soft-touch overmolding
°C, and is inherently flame resistant. TPEs are often the soft material of choice because they combine high elasticity, good flexibility at low temperatures, and exceptional chemical resistance. They are available in five major families: TPE-A are polyamides such as polyetheramide. TPE-E includes
