Lightweight Material with Unique Synthetic & Bio-Fillers

Use of a unique synthetic mineral-based fiber plus a bio-filler (coconut powder) that replaces talc and PP plus rubber from recycled battery cases provides a 5% density and 33% wall-thickness reduction in a rear decklid appliqué bracket and side-door cladding without sacrifice of properties. Further, the material provides a 30% reduction in injection-molding cycle time and a 15% material cost reduction.
