Lightweighting, NVH & Battery-Pack Thermal Barriers

Every 100 kg saved adds range. Every decibel removed adds perceived quality.

Density reduction up to 13% in talc-filled TPO, SMC/BMC Class-A panels at lower mass, and hollow-microsphere plates as thermal-runaway propagation barriers between cells.

Application scenarios

01

Injection-molded interior & under-hood parts

PA/PP/TPO compounds with HGS-42 survive high-shear molding while cutting part weight 8–13%.

02

SMC / BMC exterior panels

Class-A surface panels, tailgates, truck components — density from 1.9 down to 1.4 g/cc.

03

EV battery thermal barriers

HGM plates and potting systems slow cell-to-cell thermal runaway propagation with minimal mass increase — validated in eVTOL-grade safety assessments.

04

NVH damping & sealants

Low-density damping pads, seam sealers and underbody coatings.

Why switch — on both ledgers

Economic advantages
  • Lightweighting at $/kg-saved far below carbon fiber or aluminum substitution
  • Faster cycle times: lower thermal mass cools quicker in mold
  • Ships as drop-in — no line retooling for compounders
Functional advantages
  • Survives injection molding shear (6,000+ psi grades)
  • Isotropic shrinkage → less warpage, tighter tolerances
  • Lower NVH transmission
  • Thermal insulation inside pack = passive safety layer
