Automotive Materials to Support ADAS
Cars that don’t parallel park themselves or alert us to a vehicle in our blind spot are so last century—or even last week. OEMs are developing vehicles with systems that not only enhance the driving experience but also correct for a driver’s inexperience or inattention. Built with acutely responsive communication components, these systems must perform reliably while still being able to fit in ever-tightening spaces. They can do both with the right polymer materials.
Highlights
- Cameras and sensors are a given in modern vehicles. Keep their housings as cool as possible by replacing thermal pads and heat sinks with Therma-Tech™ materials
- Keep your cameras steady with vibration damping TPEs that absorb disruptive system vibrations
- Replace metal housings and secondary processes with electrically conductive materials to shield against EMI/RFI
- Space is limited – rely on us for materials and engineering that allow you to expand design freedom and create precise components that fit
