High Temperature Nylon PPA- Quality material solutions for cars

2023-05-30


Comfortable, lightweight, green environmental protection, low cost is the development direction of the automobile industry, more and more enterprises tend to use high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties of special engineering plastics as raw materials to replace metal to make auto parts. Let's take a look at how high temperature nylon PPA shines in the automotive industry.

Polyphthalamide (PPA) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic aromatic polyamide, commonly known as aromatic high temperature nylon, long-term working temperature up to 180 degrees, short-term temperature resistance up to 290 degrees, with high modulus, high hardness, high cost performance, low water absorption, dimensional stability and excellent weldability and other advantages. What material solutions can high temperature nylon PPA provide for automobiles?


Automotive thermal management system

Application Advantages: PPA has excellent dimensional stability in corrosive high temperature environments. Long-term exposure to the engine antifreeze environment at 130°C, with better fatigue and impact resistance and excellent strength and faster forming speed, provides a good material solution for the components of the automotive thermal management system, such as thermostat, water inlet/outlet, electric pump, water pump impeller, air conditioning heating core, etc. High temperature nylon PPA can meet its product requirements.

Automotive intake management system

Application Advantages: PPA maintains excellent mechanical strength at temperatures up to 230°C. Excellent corrosion resistance to concentrated acid, can meet the requirements of the new generation of air intake system, widely used in turbocharger actuator, turbocharger bypass valve, intercooler air chamber, exhaust gas recirculation system, electronic control throttle body, hot end intake pipe and so on.


Automotive fuel and SCR systems

Application advantages: Can be used for a variety of fuel mixtures, and can cope with the higher temperature, smaller volume, greater pressure requirements brought by today's engines. It can be used in SCR module, oil pump flange, quick insert joint, oil rail, oil pump, etc.


Automotive electronics and lighting

Application advantages: It can meet the requirements of lead-free welding (SMT) processing, and has good resistance to conventional electronic cleaners, fuel and automotive working fluids. It can be used in motor end caps, sensors, ECU housings, coils and solenoids, connectors, regulator housings, lithium-ion battery systems, etc.
