​Application tips—Green Mica & Automobile Column Protection System

Generally, cars have three columns A, B, and C, and some structures also have D columns. If it is more complicated, so on. The column guard plate is fixed on the inner plate of the side-circumference column of the car, and mainly has internal beautification and decoration, occupant protection and other functions, which directly affects the comfort and safety of drivers and passengers.

Functional contribution of mica in automotive column guard materials:

Compared with common formulas, the blending system of PP+EPDM+mica enhances the scratch resistance of the B-pillar while ensuring the original mechanical properties of the column, while making the column lighter and thinner, reducing the weight of the body, achieving a lightweight effect. The rational addition of mica material can enable the column guard system to achieve the effect of combining rigidity and flexibility, improve the corrosion resistance of the material and inhibit VOC emissions, and provide drivers and passengers with a more comfortable ride environment.
