Long-Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic in Instrument Panels

Instrument panel substrates are typically produced in SMA, PC / ABS, or steel.  Environmental benefits stem from low volatile-organic compound (VOC) material and reduced specific gravity (for fuel economy benefits). The use of LFRT PPGF30 in this application offers cost and weight savings compared to traditional materials. Other benefits include improved acoustical properties, improved stiffness, excellent low-temperature impact, low warpage, and parts consolidation.
