Pinneberg/Germany, August 25th, 2014 – Everyone is talking about climate protection and CO2 efficiency. In the automotive industry, this means in addition to the improvement of the engines, above all, weight reduction. Many parts that used to be made of metal are now being made of plastic. Nevertheless, these should also be even lighter. The solution: foam! TRAMACO, the specialist for chemical foaming agents and adhesion promoters, has been cooperating for a long time very successfully with internationally renowned plastics processors in this market segment and is a reliable, competent and innovative partner for them to find solutions for specific foam applications.
For a comparable mechanical strength, a foamed injection-moulded part can be five to ten percent lighter than the corresponding compact component. This can provide significant weight savings, especially for large components such as dashboards or housing sections of auxiliary units.
In addition to weight reduction, there are a number of other advantages of using chemical foaming agents: The flow behaviour of the polymer melts is significantly improved and the cycle times can be reduced.
And the best part: TRAMACO is able to develop customised solutions. Depending on the application, polymer and individual parameters, TRAMACO designs individual products in cooperation with its customers. This allows TRAMACO to stand out from the competition.
