Metal-to-plastics conversion in automotive mechanical parts requires a plastic that offers high mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance and good friction and wear properties at elevated temperatures.

AMODEL PPA can reduce weight, cut costs and deliver long service life for all types of automotive mechanical parts - including power steering components, lock housings, bushings and bearings.

The exceptional strength and stiffness of IXEF compounds make this material particularly appealing for replacing metal in automotive applications exposed to high load and high stress. Components can be designed with strength similar to some die cast metals plus offer the advantages of lighter weight, fewer parts and lower cost.

In addition to its high temperature capability and excellent chemical resistance, TORLON PAI offers the impact strength, elongation and compressive strength, and great friction and wear properties that make this resin a great choice for bushings and bearings and pump components.
