Home Products & Applications Automotive SBHPP in Automotive SBHPP materials are widely used in Automotive industry. Under the bonnet apps A severe environment requiring a high level of properties that cannot be matched by other materials. Uses & applications Cost Effective Engineering Solutions through Material Technology Trends in today’s Automotive industry see a renewed emphasis on durability as well as a continued drive to lower weight and improved fuel economy. But these market trends need to be achieved in a cost effective way. The key characteristics of the SBHPP portfolio are centered around Phenolic chemistry which has a unique position on the cost/performance curve. Durability in terms of Heat and Chemical resistance are a perfect fit for Underhood & Brake systems. Cost performance vs Thermoplastics with the same properties provides a significant economic advantage. Innovative Global Resources Deliver New Technology In Partnership With Customers Combined with innovative R&D resources, SBHPP is an industry leader in metal-to-plastic conversion. Our wide portfolio of resin & fiber matrices together with world-class thermoset predictive FEA & production technology mean that we have the horsepower to meet the challenges of the Automotive industry’s most innovative Engineers. Below is an overview of the pioneering applications developed by Automotive Engineers in partnership with SBHPP.

Air filtration devices use SBHPP resins that ensure long lasting to the filtration systems. 2 Turbocharger devices and EGR In order to be able to keep the high dimensional accuracy of the turbo compressor housing or the EGR device in the given temperature range (-40°C to 250°C), it is necessary to select a plastic which possesses the demanded thermo-mechanical characteristics. This refers particularly to the high thermostability, high heat resistance to ageing, high dimensional accuracy in the manufacturing process, thermal expansion similarly to the aluminum and small creep behavior. These characteriscs are fulfil by our range of glass fiber reinforced phenolic compounds. Regarding turbocharger wheels that need to resist very high speed rotation, high air pressure loads at very elevated temperature, the challenge can be perfomed by our range of carbon fiber (short or long) molding compounds. 3 Accoustics SBHPP resins and foams are widely used to produce accoustic insulators under the hood.
