Today, polyolefin-based materials are used to produce more than 90% of all bumper systems worldwide. LyondellBasell resins offer automotive designers a wide range of properties and performance options.
Our resins are the materials of choice for automotive bumpers produced globally. Resins produced using our proprietary Catalloy process are key components of our high strength bumper materials. Catalloy based polyolefin compounds are characterised by low thermal expansion as well as by an excellent impact/stiffness balance. Our resins used in bumpers exhibit excellent processability and very good paintabililty - enabling low thickness, high shock absorption and aesthetic performance. Finite element and mould-filling analyses provided by LyondellBasell help manufacturers and system suppliers optimise the performance of bumpers systems.
More information about our polymer products available for bumper system applications can be found on our polymers site.
