EPP car sunshade, EPP sunvisors
EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) is a highly versatile closed-cell bead foam that provides a unique range of properties, including outstanding energy absorption, multiple impact resistance, thermal insulation, buoyancy, water and chemical resistance, exceptionally high strength to weight ratio and 100% recyclability.
A light weight, in connection with high energy absorption and favorable deformation behavior of EPP, are excellent conditions for safety related components in vehicle construction.
Many types of molded EPP foam are used in automotive applications. Automotive industry is a very specific branch with a high demand on quality and precision. Due to the outstanding properties, the parts from EPP produced for this industry fulfill not only these requirements, but much more. Automotive parts from EPP are made in different shapes and sizes. They have an excellent energy absorbance and improve the acoustic inside a car. The most EPP application in the car are energy absorbers for bumpers, door pads, crash pads or toolboxes. EPP manages impact energy by absorbing it, then returning to shape. It is ideal for multiple impact protection such as vehicle crash applications, and is widely used in automotive interiors to improve passenger safety for side impact protection, Knee protection, A, B, C pillars, Instrument panel components, and Head restraints.
