With #automotive #lighting components becoming increasingly complex in their design, higher costs can seem unavoidable.
Take the front light bezel shown here. This part with its intricate design might require significant additional investment to produce. However, this part – in production today –benefits from the enhanced flow of LEXAN™ HF4010SR #polycarbonate resin. The high flow property enables molding on an existing press with a reduced clamping force and injection pressure – making it possible to achieve cost targets.
Additional cost savings can be possible – not only by avoiding complex tooling, but also through faster molding, thin-wall design, and part consolidation.
Resins from our high-flow LEXAN series, because it allows for the use of simpler tooling, can also help avoid the appearance of knit lines and other aesthetic issues in the final part.
