Mechanical & Structural
Advanced Lightweight Plastics Lower Cost and Reduce Fuel Consumption

Faced with rising cost pressures and the long-term implications of a mandated reduction in fuel consumption, OEMs and their suppliers are using Solvay’s broad range of advanced structural plastics to replace heavier, less eco-friendly metal components and parts.

More to Offer than Metal

  • Lighter weight lowers fuel consumption
  • Parts consolidation reduces labor and process costs
  • Molded net shapes eliminate secondary operations
  • Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance without painting or coating
  • Maintain or improve performance in extreme environments
