| Metal parts used in air induction systems can be replaced with polymeric materials that have sufficient thermal and mechanical properties.
While conventional polyamides are limited by thermal performance and dimensional stability, AMODEL polyphthalamide and IXEF polyarylamide provide the necessary properties while reducing weight and cost.
Applications like charge air coolers, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves, secondary air supply pumps, throttle bodies, air valves and manifold switching systems are being converted from metal to these plastics.
