(Borealis) -- Borealis, a leading
provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions, has received the Frost
& Sullivan 2010 Global New Product Innovation Award in the category
Automotive under the Hood Plastics. The award recognises the unique capabilities
of Borealis Xmod GB306SAF polypropylene (PP) compounds, which significantly lower
system and production costs for automotive system suppliers and manufacturers
(OEMs).
Borealis Xmod GB306SAF is a pioneering high stiffness, 36% glass fibre
reinforced engineered PP compound. It is specifically tailored for air intake
manifolds (AIMs) and other technical under the hood components, exposed to high
loads and peak temperatures of up to 140°C. Vibration resistance, long-term
chemical and heat resistance, combined with high fatigue and a broad operating
temperature are among the material's key characteristics.
Additionally to meeting the customers need for component cost reduction,
Borealis Xmod GB306SAF offers improved dimensional stability and therefore more
consistent processing results compared to existing plastics solutions for AIMs.
