Plastic parts in the automotive sector

Plastic parts for automobiles are products made of plastic. Plastic parts are used in a wide range of automotive applications, with bodywork and interior parts being the most common.
We are familiar with plastics because they are so close to our daily lives, but automotive plastics are different from the plastics we usually know.
Plastics used in automobiles are specialised modified plastics, which are selected according to the needs of different types of plastic and are specially treated.
Plastics for automobiles have many advantages that traditional materials did not have in the past, mainly in terms of light weight, good decorative appearance, good physical and chemical properties, easy processing and moulding, energy saving and other aspects, so they are widely used in the automotive field.
Of course, plastics are not a panacea, but they also have shortcomings, such as poor heat resistance and poor frost resistance, resulting in a short service life.
