Abstract
The combination of specialty polyolefins and advanced thermoplastic processes offers innovative new approaches to integrated bumper systems. Unique combinations of EA/Beam, EA/Fascia, and complete bumper systems can be achieved utilizing filled and unfilled polyolefins and TPO's with coinjection, gas injection, expanding mold, and other material/design/process combinations. Light weight, low cost, and recyclable one piece bumper systems may be targeted with materials ranging from structural long glass PP to design-flexible TPO skins.
