Achieving low vibration requirements while retaining good dimensional stability (even at high temperatures) in under-the-hood parts is essential. Automotive customers also demand components that are resistant to fuels and lubricants, with very low C-emissions and fogging values.
LyondellBasell's Hostacom advanced polyolefins are used by customers in under-the-hood applications because of their proven performance in these areas. Our resins also offer good processability, enabling more complex finished part designs. Typical customer applications include heater housing, air filter housings headlight housings, ventilator wheels and reservoirs. Our new Hostacom glass reinforced materials, available in a wide range of stiffness levels, are used in structural components such as front ends, battery supports, waterbox beams and door modules.
More information about our polymer products available for under-the-hood and structural applications can be found on our polymers site.
