COMPOSITES TO GROW IN BODY-IN-WHITE AND STRUCTURAL PARTS

Potential of weight out due to

composites is estimated at

~100 kg by 2020 20-25kg

of reinforcements per car

The automotive market is expected to grow to 100M vehicles by 2019

Chart source: Owens Corning market needs estimate, September 2014 * European Environment Agency (EEA) 2012

COMPOSITES OFFER ADVANCED COMPETITIVE SOLUTIONS

Short term Aluminum will displace steel

for one on one replacement

With pure focus on weight out Approximately 200kg of weight

reduction per vehicle will be required to address OEMs

CO2 gap*

Medium-long term Composites allow for

enhanced function integration

But requires re-engineering of the car modules

Short Glass <1mm

VERSUS SHORT FIBER Significant lower warpage vs short glass fibers

Much lower CTEs and higher isotropy than short glass fibers

Improved impact performance (especially Low temp.)

Improved creep resistance (better than PA short glass fiber)

Improved long and short term heat resistance

Lower weight
