Dear Industry Expert,

To further reduce carbon emissions from vehicles and to improve the fuel economy and range of new models, automobile manufacturers are always looking for extremely lightweight solutions – particularly for unsprung weight in and on their vehicles. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) with very low density can contribute to lightweighting of vehicle parts and components.
