Mitsubishi Motors Corporation wählt SABIC’s NORYL GTX™ und stellt den ersten mit einem 2-Kavitätenwerkzeug geformten Kunststoff-Kotflügel für seinen Outlander Sport her
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Niederlande, 15. November 2012 - Die Geschäftseinheit Innovative Plastics von SABIC hat heute bekanntgeben, dass Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) für die Frontkotflügel des 2013 Outlander Sport Crossovers den weiterentwickelten Kunststoff NORYL GTX™ 989 von SABIC gewählt hat. Als Branchenpremiere sind die Kotflügel dieses Fahrzeugs die ersten, die im Spritzgussverfahren mit zwei Kavitäten hergestellt werden. Dadurch kann MMC die Zykluszeiten und Werkzeugkosten halbieren. Weitere wichtige Vorteile des Werkstoffs von SABIC sind kraftstoff-einsparende Gewichtsreduktion im Vergleich zu Stahl sowie eine außergewöhnliche Designfreiheit. So werden mit diesem Projekt die ersten Kotflügel mit integrierten Kunststoff-Befestigungspunkten zur Verbesserung des Kopfaufprallschutzes von Fußgängern auf dem nordamerikanischen Markt eingeführt. Die Verwendung von NORYL GTX 989 für die Serienfertigung von MMC-Kotflügeln unterstreicht den Trend in der Automobilindustrie zu Leichtbauweise und Funktionsintegration.
