Designing first-time-right systems by integrating Envalior’s materials- and system expertise
Automotive OEMs and Tier1s continue to meet carbon emission regulations and targets by developing lightweight hybrid and electric vehicles. As design cycles for vehicle applications are getting shorter and targets keep moving, there is not enough time or resources to determine the influence of all the potential failure modes via real world prototyping and testing.
As automotive OEMs and Tier1s evolve to meet carbon emission regulations and targets, they are developing lightweight hybrid and electric vehicles. As the design cycles for vehicle applications are getting shorter and targets keep moving, there is not enough time, nor resources, to determine the influence of all the potential failure modes via real world prototyping and testing.
Team up with Envalior—we are committed to supporting customers through every step of their design and manufacturing processes. Besides offering a broad portfolio of material grades for many lightweight applications, we offer predictive technologies (CAE) services in which we can run simulations and tests, offering our customers advice and support. Plus, our in-depth analyses on the alignment and position of fiber in materials will give you an additional layer of data to achieve the maximum strength and durability of the material being used in these parts.
We know our material solutions capabilities in which we can advise you on how they will carry over into your designs. Envalior can help you get more functionality out of a part, save weight, be closer to the design limit, a lower ecological footprint—all with less prototyping—giving you a competitive advantage over peers. We offer all of this expertise in order to advise, mitigate and save customers' time.

As our economy places more focus on efficiency, industry is responding by creating products that are thinner, lighter, and smaller – with the same or more functionality.
In the ongoing quest to do more with less, some automotive applications prove more challenging than other
As car manufacturers continuously focus on reducing weight to improve fuel efficiency, replacing metal parts with plastic remains a key challenge.
Plastics offer a solution that is lighter in weight than metal and rubber. In addition, plastics enable the production of parts with complex geometries, meaning its possible to convert a number of components into a single, simplified part.
UD tapes, tape-based 2D fabrics, and cross plies are used in structural and semi-structural applications, and in the selective reinforcement of injection molded parts.
One of the most challenging environments we work in is under the hood of a car. The parts used in these applications are subjected to high temperatures, broad temperature ranges and corrosive chemicals.
Today’s cars are 90% quieter than cars from the 1970s, when vehicle noise first began to be legislated. OEMs are also increasingly focused on improving the driving experience.
As car manufacturers seek to meet more strict legislation on tailgate emissions, a key area of focus is the reduction of wear and friction in the engine and transmission.
In some consumer electronics applications, key characteristics of the plastic material are haptics and aesthetics – how they look and feel.
Understanding how compounds with low molecular weight migrate across plastic is important for many applications.
The engineering plastics used in various electronics parts have to comply with strict flame retardancy requirements and more environmentally friendly solutions
Learn how Envalior material science helps improve performance with e-friendly materials that do not corrode electrical components.
Designing an innovative part is only one step in the process. Once you have the part design and the material grade selected, and you have successfully manufactured the part in the lab, you need to roll it out for commercial production.
New part designs made from engineering plastics are often able to bypass or reduce the number of secondary processing steps.
While many new parts designed to be manufactured from engineering plastics can bypass or reduce the number of secondary processing steps, some parts still require operations such as painting and printing.
Once you are ready to commercialize your part, you also need to ensure it complies with relevant industry standards and regulations.
Safety is a key concern whenever plastics and electronics meet, and in today’s digitized world, that happens with increasing frequency.
When we talk about Imagine the Future, one of the core ideas we’re expressing is our concern for sustainability. That’s why we have integrated green design into our business.
