(Plastemart) -- The new generation Lancia Ypsilon is the latest high-style vehicle model from Fiat Group to embrace bumper and dashboard material innovations from Borealis and Borouge, to support its drive for high quality across its vehicle ranges. Fiat Group approved Borealis and Borouge's high-performance polypropylene (PP) Daplen EF109AE-9543 for the bumper on its new Lancia Ypsilon model for many compelling reasons. One such reason was the excellent balance between stiffness and impact performance to match the new European crash performance requirements. Furthermore, the good paintability and zero-gap concept achieved through the material's excellent Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) ensures good continuity with the body of the car for enhanced visual appeal.
