Ineos Styrolution said that it will present its new generation of thermoplastic composites, StyLight.
The new composite combines structural stiffness with surface aesthetics opening up opportunities in the automotive industry to address both, structural and aesthetic demands with a single material. This results in designers rethinking the design of certain vehicle applications.
Traditional car applications often consist of a frame or structural part that is complemented by visible parts providing a certain aesthetical value to the user. StyLight offers an excellent mechanical performance profile including stiffness, strength and impact strength. It is on par with today’s most advanced PA6 or PP based thermoplastic composites in the market. At the same time, the material is capable of combining the roles of structural frame and visible aesthetic part. This leaves room for design changes and ultimately weight reduction.
Integrating structural and aesthetic functions reduces the number of components for a given application and system cost. Ineos Styrolution partners with KTM Technology, a creative Austrian engineering office, to develop and propose innovative design concepts for a selected number of applications.
