As the automotive industry moves from traditional combustion engine vehicles to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), OEMs and parts manufacturers are reimagining the types of materials that can meet the thermal management needs of EVs. Polyplastics Group, a leading global supplier of engineering thermoplastics, sees strong potential for less heat-resistant plastics like POM and PP for production of EV cooling components.<\/p>\n

As the automotive industry shifts from traditional combustion engine vehicles to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component manufacturers are rethinking the types of materials that meet their needs. in terms of heat management of electric cars. Where Polyplastics believes that Less heat-resistant plastics such as polyoxymethylene and polypropylene There is significant potential for the production of refrigeration components for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

The coolant in combustion engines is typically maintained at a temperature of 70-100\u00b0C but can climb to 120\u00b0C or higher if the engine overheats. Therefore, metals or high heat-resistant Plastics like Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) are used in cooling components and lines. In comparison, EVs require a Long-Life Coolant (LLC) temperature of 100\u00b0C or lower. This allows for the use of less heat-resistant materials for BEV-specific components.<\/p>\n

When the temperature of a long-life coolant is 100\u00b0C or lower, general-purpose engineering plastics like Polyoxymethylene (POM) or Polypropylene (PP) can be used instead of metals or high-performance engineering plastics. In the case of PP, Polyplastics sees potential for PP-LGF (Long-Glass Fiber) instead of short glass fibers to increase strength, dimensional accuracy, and overall performance. Polyplastics also offers DURACON\u00ae bG-POM made with biomass as an eco-friendly option.<\/p>\n

Replacing high heat-resistant plastics such as PPS with POM and PP not only reduces material costs but also helps with efforts to reduce CO2 by reducing the carbon footprint of materials and energy consumption during molding.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
