Automotive materials are tested by heat, vibration, oils and tight weight and cost targets. We support manufacturers and suppliers in material selection and problem solving across the product's life.
Common challenges
- Reducing weight without giving up strength and durability
- Noise, vibration and wear in rubber and plastic parts
- Resistance to oils, fuels, coolants and under-hood heat
- Bonding and sealing dissimilar materials
How we help
- Selecting polymers, elastomers and adhesives for interior and exterior parts
- Matching sealing and vibration-isolation materials to harsh conditions
- Guidance on metal-to-plastic replacement and lightweighting
- Failure analysis and preparation for customer and standards requirements
