Thermoplastic Compounds for Automotive Applications

SUGOI Polymers offers a complete portfolio of thermoplastics materials for the automotive industry. We’ve successfully help automotive manufactures reduce vehicle weight, lower vehicle emissions, and increase safety.

SUGOI Polymers’s Light-Weighting Portfolio
SUGOI Polymers has successfully helped manufacturers reduce weight in automotive applications, including shifter bases, arm rests, sunroofs, pedal housings, front end modules, door modules, and more!

SUGOI Polymer’s light-weighting portfolio includes:

• Very Long Fiber compounds
• Carbon Fiber compounds
• Chemical Foaming Agents
• Hollow Glass Microspheres

SUGOI Polymers’s Low Emission Products
To meet the growing demand for low emission requirements, SUGOI Polymers has availablity of a line of low emission products including a VLF PP product for use in automotive interior applications. These PP VLF products satisfy Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) mandates to reduce the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels found in thermoplastic materials specified for use in automotive interior applications.

International legislation and automotive OEMs have identified the need to reduce odor, fogging, and total VOCs to improve air quality and the safety of vehicle interiors.

Low emission PP VLF compounds are designed for structural use and provide exceptional strength, stiffness, and dimensional accuracy, with reinforcement levels of 20 – 50 wt%.

These environmentally-friendly VLF compounds can be used in automotive interior applications such as instrument panels, door module carriers, overhead and center consoles, seating, load floors, pedal boxes, spare tire covers and storage bins.

In addition to our low emission offering we are capable of making appearance friendly VLF PP materials to meet automotive interior and exterior requirements… UV stability, scratch and mar performance, low gloss, uniform surface appearance combined with the outstanding strength and impact of VLF.

SUGOI Polymers’s EMI Compounds for Auto Sensing Systems
SUGOI Polymers provides ready-to-mold plastic compounds with EMI Shielding properties that are ideal for the housings of automotive sensing systems. In addition to protecting sensing systems from the damaging effects of EMI, housings made from these compounds are significantly lighter than their metal counterparts, thereby reducing overall vehicle weight.
