• 　What engineering plastics are used in Automotive Interior parts?

  　　 One, nylon material (PA)

  　　 Nylon is mainly used in automobile engines and engine peripheral parts, the main varieties are GFPA6, GFPA66, reinforced flame retardant PA6 and other products.

  
  　　1. Application on peripheral parts of automobile engine: As the peripheral parts of the engine are mainly heat-generating and vibrating parts, most of the materials used in the parts are glass fiber reinforced nylon. This is because nylon has good comprehensive properties. The main properties of nylon modified with glass fiber are greatly improved, such as strength, product accuracy, and dimensional stability.

  　　 In addition, nylon has many varieties, is easier to recycle and reuse, and is relatively cheap. These factors make nylon an ideal material for engine peripheral components. The intake manifold is a typical application of modified nylon materials in the automotive field. In 1990, the German BMW Motor Company used glass fiber reinforced nylon as the raw material for the intake manifold to be applied to a six-cylinder engine. Later, the intake manifold made of glass fiber reinforced PA66 by Ford of the United States was applied to the V6 engine, and then the world's major automobile companies followed up, and the modified nylon intake manifold was widely used.

  2. Application on Plastic parts of car center console: engine cover, engine decoration cover, cylinder head cover and other parts generally use modified nylon as material. Compared with metal material, cylinder head cover is used as an example, the weight is reduced by 50%. %, the cost is reduced by 30%. In addition to engine parts, other stressed parts of the car can also use reinforced nylon, such as oil filters, wipers, radiator grilles, etc.
