Automotive Industry
Bost specializes in engineering plastics & special engineering plastics for the automotive industry, providing materials that improve strength, reduce weight, and enhance resistance to heat and wear, ensuring high-quality vehicle performance.
Key Trends & Advantages
By leveraging these materials, automakers enhance performance, durability, and sustainability while enabling complex designs for modern vehicles.
Lightweighting
Engineering plastics reduce vehicle weight by up to 40%, improving fuel efficiency and EV range.
Metal Replacement
Specialty plastics like PPS and PEEK replace metals in under-the-hood components, cutting costs and corrosion.
Sustainability
Recyclable plastics (e.g., PP, PC) and bio-based materials (e.g., bio-PA) are increasingly used to meet eco-friendly standards.
Engineering Plastics
Engineering plastics are high-performance materials with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, widely used in automotive components requiring durability and moderate heat resistance.
