ENGINE COMPARTMENT

The engine compartment is highly demanding regarding the continuous operating temperature of the compound and mechanical properties like impact strength, rigidity and strength but also because of its exposure to all media used in cars.

Here, innovative solutions are needed in the field of lightweight construction, metal substitution and integration of functions, in addition to hydrolysis resistance and special stabilisations for use in areas exposed to high temperatures. Drives with higher power density have increasing requirements on mechanical, thermal and tribological load capacity. Electromobility also creates new challenges for us.
