Expanded polypropylene (EPP) has a high capacity of energy
absorption which is unchangeable after multiple impact loading and
at low weight of the part. The EPP parts are environmentally
friendly - they contain neither plasticizers nor halogenated
blowing agents and can be recycled very easily. They have excellent
mechanical properties, minimum moisture absorption and are stable
within a wide range of temperatures. The retarded flammability and
low fogging values predetermine this material for use in
automobiles. The EPP foam parts are used mainly as energy absorbing
elements (damping padding) in door panels and bumpers, further for
safety and isolating inside trim of car interiors. The EPP foam
forms the supporting part of sun visors, of child car seats and of
some types of headrests.
Why Choose Expanded Foams
PMPF produces products using a wide range of cost effective
expanded foam solutions. Expanded foam solves multiple problems
such as:
*- Repeatable energy management *- Multiple
impact protection
*- Weight optimisation
*- Strength to weight ration
*- Heat resistance
*- Durability
*- Cost reduction
*- System
reliability *-
Comfort Benefit of EPP Automotive Components
Side Impact Protection
*- Expanded foam components are located with in the door frames and
arm rest areas to counter-balance the side impact forces.
*- Expanded high density modified polypropylene foam is sandwitched
between the metal and plastic central reservation of the seat belt
mechanism to provide hip protection Head Impact Protection
*- High density polypropylene pads clipped beneath the roof lining
offers head impact protection Front Impact Protection
*- Expanded polypropylene bumper cores.
*- Expanded polypropylene low density foot-well in-fill pieces
located under the carpet to support the heel.
*- Expanded polypropylene foot-well parts act as footrests.
*- Expanded polypropylene pads supplied taped for fixing to the
steering cowl assemble for knee impact protection.
*- Expanded heat resistant co-polymer foam pad fixed to the
passenger air bag door protects during deployment.
Expanded foams offer a safer environment for motorists and
pedestrians. PMPF manufacture bumper cores using deeper foam
profiles which help to stop pedestrians impacting with hard points
at the front of the vehicle.
Interiors Under Carpet/Floor Levelling Systems
*- Floor levelling systems alow the same platform to be used for
many different car variants. Produced in expanded polypropylene
these low weight mouldings also offer acoustic protection and are
manufactured to incorporate airflow and wire channels.
*- Expanded polypropylene shapes are used to level floor areas and
fill voids. Seating
*- Expanded polypropylene lumber cores in seats.
*- Expanded polypropylene arm rest cores. *- Anti-submarine
inserts.
Car Boot
*- Car boot levelling. *- Integrated Tool Tray
with spare wheel cover-tools.
*- Infill spacers. *- CD
player holders (including banking plugs).
*- Wet stowage trays. *- Plastic liners and leather
look finishes available.
Expanded polypropylene is a very durable and lightweight material
that will make many transit journeys-ideal for transportation of
product from manufacturing to the assembly plant using a closed
loop system. Dunnage trays which nest and stack may be produced in
different colours for easy identification and the internal soft
touch ensures against abrasion.
