According to Elizabeth ( SABIC ) innovative plastics company introduction, in the past few decades, polypropylene ( PP ) material application in automotive field of steady growth, the average annual growth rate of 3 to 5%, in a variety of parts to replace metal and other polymers.
Nowadays, polypropylene composite material is widely used for bumper, dashboard, door panel, interior trim and other parts. European automotive original equipment manufacturers as early as the beginning of this century, the use of SABIC STAMAX brand of long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composite material, mainly used in the manufacture of front assembly, door components, instrument panel bracket, the back door, a seat body structure. In recent years, the automotive industry for polypropylene open new application portal. In the hybrid and electric vehicles parts, being not key factors under the engine cover parts, in some semi structure applications, using polypropylene can be made into a highly integrated components, in order to further reduce the weight and cost.
In this situation, Elizabeth innovative plastics company recently located at the Mississippi plant new Kai polypropylene composite material manufacturing, to the automotive industry supply PP mixing and STAMAX long glass fiber reinforced PP composite material, to respond to the North American automotive equipment manufacturers of localized supply global unified quality PP material urgently demand.
Elizabeth innovative plastics company in the United States of America factory installed new energy from the factories in Belgium plant design and technology. The company said the factory is it in Europe built the largest PP composite material factory, from the factory to the European supply PP mixing, to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the supply of STAMAX of long glass fiber reinforced PP composite.
