What are the applications of reinforced nylon in the automotive industry?
The flame retardant performance of ordinary nylon material is poor, its vertical combustion can only reach UL94 V-2, and its oxygen index is about 24, which is a flammable material. If it is not protected while using, it's easy to cause a fire (especially in electronic products). In this background, the invention of flame-retardant nylon has greatly increased the proportion of nylon materials used in every aspect of our life.
The most widely used halogen-free flame retardants in nylon material are red phosphorus and melamine salts. Modified nylon has a wide range of applications in the automotive industry, especially automotive engine components, such as engine covers, trim panels, and other engine compartment parts, etc. Compared with metal materials, the weights and cost of nylon parts have been greatly improved, the mechanical and chemical properties of reinforced nylon are excellent, and the application of reinforced nylon can also be seen in other stress-bearing parts of automobiles.
Nylon parts are cheap and easy to recycle and are now the most popular raw materials for auto parts. Shanghai Future Mould is a professional injection mold factory, which has provided injection molds and auto parts for many world-class auto manufacturers.
