Roof Ditch Molding

This roof-ditch molding is industry's first co-extruded, all-plastic, hot-formed clip-on design. No metal reinforcements or foils were required.  The PP material uses 40% ultrafine, sub-micron ground talc as a filler to significantly improve HDT, stiffness, and dimensional stability vs. using 40% fine-ground talc. An estimated $4 USD/car direct cost savings was achieved, while HDT was improved 20% and stiffness 30%. Since dimensional performance also increased, no metal reinforcement was needed.
