High performance reinforcing additive from Milliken helps Mecaplast make lighter car parts
Ghent, Belgium – French automotive plastics component producer Mecaplast says it can make significant weight reductions in injection moulded TPO parts by partially replacing talc filler with Hyperform® HPR-803i high performance reinforcing agent from Milliken.
As proof, Mecaplast has used a TPO compound containing a mix of talc and Hyperform HPR-803i (total additive content around 10% by weight) to mould prototype B-pillar covers that it normally supplies in a conventional 20% talc-filled TPO (elastomer-modified polypropylene). The prototype parts weighed 524 g, seven percent less than the commercial parts. The compound has a density of 0.98 g/cm3, which compares with 1.04 g/cm3 for a 20% talc-filled TPO with similar mechanical properties.

MOOG HYDRAULIC SIMULATION TABLE ALLOWS EXOVA TO ACHIEVE MORE REALISTIC AUTOMOTIVE TESTING
East Aurora, NY, USA, 31 January 2012 – Moog, a leader in high performance systems and products for automotive and aerospace testing, has designed and manufactured a Hydraulic Simulation Table based on the company’s latest line of Hydraulic Test Actuators. This offers more capability than a conventional orthogonal system, which is a table moved by actuators mounted on its base and sides. The Moog Hydraulic Simulation Table is a six-legged hexapod with two equilateral triangular frames set one above the other, offset at 30 degrees. Each apex of the top triangle is connected to the two apexes below it via Moog Hydraulic Test Actuators with Hydrostatic Bearings.
