Lean Material Mix for Lightweight Interiors: Microsandwich Made from a Fiber-Reinforced PP Nonwoven and a PET Foam Core for Vehicle Interior Trim Components

摘要

The first series application of the lightweight material microsandwich in 2018 will reduce the weight of vehicle interior trim components by up to 50%. The efficient one-shot process on existing manufacturing systems offers cost-effective component production by virtue of its short cycle times, as illustrated by the example of a door pocket.
