Since the 1960s, plastic has become part of the automotive industry in a significant way, and during recent decades has yielded new benefits, providing for a huge reduction in weight, less fuel consumption and increased design flexibility, with more rounded and bolder lines in vehicle models.
Currently vehicles have on average 50 kilos of parts and accessories made of plastic within the interior, exterior and even next to the engine, replacing around 350 kg of steel.
Braskem’s broad polypropylene (PP) portfolio meets the needs of today’s sophisticated automotive and compounding applications. Benefits from the proven performance that helps our customers add value to a wide range of innovative downstream solutions include:
- Reduced wall thickness enables using less raw material in achieving light weighting solutions that lower transportation costs, improve fuel economy, and reduce emissions.
- Unique balance of stiffness, toughness, and flowability offer exceptional competitive advantages for multiple end users.
- Joint technology and innovation platforms that enable our clients to meet and exceed stringent market demands.
