Thermoplastic Fenders
The thermoplastic fender has both a functional and a design role. It is made from thermoplastic material utilising an injection molding process. Benefits of a thermoplastic fender as compared to sheet metal include: - Weight savings
- Corrosion prevention
- Greater design flexibility
- Greater resistance to minor damage
- Significantly lower tool costs
The following types of material are typically employed: - TPO/EMPP
- PC-Blends
- PA-Blends
REHAU can supply the thermoplastic fender as a(n):- Unpainted conductive part (suitable for in-line or on-line painting)
- Unpainted primer-coated conductive part (suitable for in-line or on-line painting)
- Painted in-body-color matching the vehicle color
- Structural or retaining parts may be fitted to the fender by means of adhesive bonding or welding (for uses such as mountings).
- "Fender module" - (Expanding a fender to include the integration of items such as headlamps and water reservoirs before the module leaves the REHAU facility).
