PARTICLE FOAM RELIABLY PROTECTS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN SERIOUS CASES.

VEHICLE COMPONENTS

Particle foams are excellently suited for the production of crash pads. Absorbers, floor inserts, headrests, fairings, front-end shock absorbers and other impact absorbers made of this foam material increase safety.

MANY APPLICATIONS

Due to its simple processing, the various inlays can also be individually designed. On request, we can produce various components for vehicles such as headrests or bumpers.

HIGH SAFETY

Inserts made of particle foam are mainly used for passenger protection and passive safety in a vehicle. Since the material has a very low weight and a high impact protection, it is a trend-setting material for the construction of vehicles.

LIGHT & DURABLE

ADVANTAGES OF THE MATERIAL

EPS (Styrofoam® | airpop®) and EPP are characterized above all by low weight and excellent energy absorption. EPP in particular can absorb repeated impacts very well. There is no visible damage.

These two particle foams have very good thermal insulation and optimized temperature resistance. EPP is water, most chemicals and oils repellent and retains its structure in various high load applications. It also withstands temperatures from minus 25 to 130 degrees Celsius. EPS (Styrofoam® | airpop®) and EPP are 100% recyclable.

WHY USE PARTICLE FOAM IN AUTOMOBILES?

Particle foams have versatile positive properties, especially for the automotive sector, which no other material in combination can match:

high structural strength with very low weight
great freedom of design
very good energy absorption
High resilience (EPP)
fully recyclable
good resistance to chemicals (EPP)
good soundproofing/sound absorption
excellent thermal insulation (e.g. for e-mobility)

TRENDS FOR PARTICLE FOAM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

Use as core of composite materials e.g. body insulation for electric vehicles
high density crash protection elements (densities from 100 to 300 g/l) as efficient occupant/battery protection for new generations of small lightweight vehicles with low buffer zones
Use of particle foams for visible molded parts: Colouring and attractive surfaces thanks to appropriate mould technology (e.g. laser textures)
