Automotive Underhood Applications for Plastic Resins

As regulatory and consumer demands have grown, automotive underhood components have been affected like no other automotive applications.

Increasing requirements for fuel efficiency, emissions control and high performance have forced the development of plastic resins that resist heat, chemicals and other challenges over longer and longer periods of time.

TMG has been in step with these trends, working with automotive OEMs to ensure our plastic resins meet their stringent requirements for underhood components like:

  • Wire troughs
  • Battery boxes
  • Wiper pivot arms
  • Cowl screens

For tough applications like these, Optilon nylon, Optipro polypropylene and our other TMG branded resins provide the optimum in performance and value for automotive suppliers.
