Recently hearing: Germany LANXESS is strengthening fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite materials business, with a focus on polyamide matrix hybrid composite sheet technology.

According to the introduction, in view of the current light electric vehicle and light weight, fuel-efficient motor vehicles popular trend, the company strong development of nylon composite material sheet hybrid technology. The technology to thin fiber reinforced plastic sheet as base material, can they pressed into various shapes, like a thin metal plate so that, when the sheet with ribs and polyamide with firmware, can be used to make the parts, its strength and metal / plastic hybrid parts were similar, but lighter.

LANXESS this expertise to establish in the plastic / metal hybrid technology on the basis, this hybrid technique used to make the front end of the automobile, the brake pedal, pedal bracket. The company reports, confounding parts general than pure steel light from 20 to 30%, and their performance of the same. If the use of continuous fiber reinforced light weight polyamide composite material instead of metal material, also can reduce more weight.

The company sources, they noticed in polyamide composite material, hybrid technology manufacturing door frame bottom cross beam, column, car body seat arm has great potential.
