Songwon supports automotive light-weighting with new SONGXTEND 2124 stabilizer
Songwon has recently launched the new SONGXTEND 2124 stabilizer for lightweight construction in the automotive industry.
SONGXTEND 2124 stabilizer improves the long term thermal stability (LTTS) of the short and long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) used in interior applications for molded parts, and can match the LTTS performance of 1,000h and beyond at 150°C.
It makes possible thinner and lighter molded parts while still having similar mechanical properties as unfilled parts, according to the company.
"With this new addition, Songwon now offers a full range of stabilizers for un-filled, talc and glass-filled PP. Providing a cost-efficient alternative to the existing solutions available, SONGXTEND 2124 has already enabled one of Songwon's global customers to reduce costs in its glass fiber reinforced PP application while exceeding 1,000h at 150°C, long-term thermal stability," stated Thomas Schmutz, Leader Global Technical Service & Application Development.
