Hybrid construction, a well-established technology, enters a new age by using adhesionpromoters for metal/plastic combinations. Crosslinkable copolyamides used as binders betweenmetals like steel or aluminum and overmolded engineering plastics provide true materialengagement, beyond the simple mechanical interlock of current state of the art hybrid parts. Thisnew manufacturing technology allows totally new designs for parts like automotive front endmodules and other structural components with reduced material consumption due to higherstiffness. In many cases, the potential for weight reduction reaches nearly 20% withoutsacrificing performance.
