Motor vehicles are becoming heavier and heavier due to increasing electronics. Increased fuel consumption is the result. In order to counteract this development, materials with a low weight are needed while maintaining the same performance. In the automotive industry, EPS or EPP molded parts are used as foot or headrests, trunk floors, crash pads, inserts and other functional parts.

Particle foams play an important role in e-mobility and electric cars in particular. The weight of the vehicle is a significant criterion for the range of a battery charge. The lighter the electric car, the more efficiently the available energy can be used. EPS molded parts are also used here as battery insulation.

Neopor® molded parts are suitable where increased thermal insulation is to be achieved. The added graphite gives the classic EPS (Styrofoam®) its grey colour and develops a high insulating performance. Due to its excellent thermal properties, the particle foam has also established itself in the construction industry and in heating and air conditioning technology. Neopor® molded parts are used here as pipe insulation, as insulation for cisterns or fittings. The possible fields of application are extensive – we would be pleased to inform you about individual customer solutions using Neopor® molded parts.
