PCR Cam Cover

This is the first time a 100% post-consumer recycled PA 6/6 resin with 33% short-glass reinforcement has been used for a demanding cam cover application to replace die-cast aluminum.  The PCR PA 6/6 offered excellent weldability to attach a high-efficiency air-oil separator and was molded in very-thin walls (to 2.0 mm for the Nano-model cover).  The result is a part that is 30% lighter than incumbent aluminum, offers lower NVH values and a 20% material cost reduction vs. virgin resin, and diverts carpet from landfills.
