博罗and Borealis, the leading providers of innovative, value creating plastics solutions in the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Europe, have delivered the foundation for a technological breakthrough to the automotive industry with the development of Daplen™ EF341AE used in the world’s first fully integrated fender module. The material, a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) compound, has been specifically tailored to meet BMW’s exacting specifications for the new BMW X5 regarding improved production cost, safety, high quality aesthetics and environmental performance. The resulting TPO fender is the most complex and highly integrated, class A body application to be seen in production to date.
这是第一次挡泥板巩固了这些部件并用作前照灯增强件和轮式壳体，清洁系统，安全气囊传感器和冷却装置。通过集成功能，该阶段的创新变化为传统钢结构提供了50％的更轻的替代方案。
关注行人安全
The fender’s pedestrian protection absorber makes the new BMW X5 fulfil new EuroNCAP pedestrian safety regulations for 2010. In line with these regulations, the fender can deform up to 80mm on impact, reducing significantly the potential for major injury to a pedestrian in the event of a low-speed collision.
最佳设计
Daplen还因为其尺寸稳定性而被选中，它可以防止因膨胀和收缩而引起的翘曲。它还创造了一个最佳的设计融合了其余的钢外体的新宝马X5。它提供所需的光滑、高质量的A级表面外观。
此外，Daplen EF341AE满足塑料Omnium关于离线喷涂的具体要求，作为一种随时可用的材料，易于加工。Borealis为零部件制造商提供模具设计和工艺管理支持，以促进生产。
Hu Wei, Business Manager, Borouge’s Wire & Cable and Automotive & Appliances, and Regional Manager for North East Asia comments: "The creation of the first 100% plastic one-module fender is a breakthrough for the automotive industry. Such a lightweight, integrated solution impacts not only on ease of production and associated costs, but allows automotive manufacturers to raise pedestrian safety performance to new levels without affecting design or functionality."
这款创新产品是Borouge和Borealis、零部件制造商Plastic Omnium汽车外饰和宝马集团长期合作的产物。Daplen EF341AE是一款高端的30%矿物填充TPO，基于Borstar专利技术。
