A thinner, lower mass bumper beam with improved impact performance was
achieved via press-molded GMT composites thanks to use of a both chopped glass
and glass fabric reinforcements featuring enhanced fiberglass/PP interface
attained using a new coupling agent and coating material, plus optimized fiber
alignment. By enhancing the beam's
crash-energy dispersion and absorption effectiveness, repair costs were
improved, weight was lowered 15.5%, and fuel efficiency also benefited.
Existing tools were used with the new material.
