Envalior

Automotive

Our innovative materials are developed to meet a wide variety of technological challenges in mobility, making (electric) vehicles safer, lighter and more sustainable. Browse these pages to learn more about how our industry experts, scientists and engineers work hand in hand with our customers to develop next generation solutions.

Making electric vehicles Safer, Lighter and More Sustainable

The future of mobility is rapidly changing. The era of internal combustion engines as a single power source is ending, indicating a transformation that makes vehicles cleaner. To realize this transformation, automotive OEMs need advanced materials that make electric vehicles safer, lighter and more sustainable.

Our portfolio of tough yet lightweight materials are driving manufacturers to produce automotive components that are extremely light, reduce friction and operate in extreme environments – particularly at very high temperatures - with drastically smaller carbon footprints.

  • Drivetrain

    Drivetrain components have to work in very challenging conditions. Stanyl has proven an effective replacement for aluminum in FEAD systems, especially for the tensioner

  • Air Management

    Learn more about Envalior’s best-in-class thermoplastic material solutions for air management applications

  • Interior

    Drivers have the most interaction with the interior of the vehicle, making it a key area of focus as automobile manufacturers focus on improving the driving experience.

  • Engine

    Engine components such as timing systems, oil sumps, and bearing cages - engineering plastics reduce friction compared with metals, which gives fuel efficiency.

  • Exterior

    Our broad portfolio of materials has grades suited to a wide range of exterior applications – for both painted and unpainted parts.

  • Hydrogen Fuel Cells

    Fuel cell systems need to use materials that are pure. If not, ion leaching and hydrolytic and heat aging can occur. These two failure modes and the risks and consequences can hurt your brand image. Impure materials increase the risk of ion leaching, and higher water absorbing materials show more ion leaching, which you do not want. Also, impure materials increase the risk of hydrolytic and heat ageing— PA9T and PA66 are not good performers.

  • Body & Chassis

    Body plugs, structural reinforcements and chassis made of Akulon polyamide 6 and Arnitel TPC (TPE-E) make better, safer, lighter, and more cost-efficient cars
