With automotive industry experiencing rapid growth, the demand for modified plastics is set to soar. Forecasts predict a remarkable increase in demand, with the automotive sector alone expected to consume nearly 6 million tons of modified plastics by 2026. This unprecedented growth presents significant opportunities for innovation and collaboration, paving the way for a more sustainable future for automotive industry. 

Modified PP refers to the processing of PP as the base material, adding auxiliary components through methods such as filling, blending, and reinforcement to enhance the performance of PP, such as flame retardancy, strength, impact resistance, weather resistance, and conductivity. Therefore, modified PP plastics play an important role in the lightweighting process of automobiles. In addition, PP is more easily recyclable, with established recycling industry chains both domestically and internationally, which is a significant advantage compared to engineering plastics. In addition to the above characteristics, modified PP is also easy to recycle, which can reduce pollution caused by automobiles to the environment. With established recycling industry chains both domestically and internationally, this is also a significant advantage compared to engineering plastics. These characteristics make modified PP not only meet environmental standards but also help manufacturers reduce costs.

Suzhou Topu New Materials Co., Ltd., a well-known domestic modified plastics manufacturer, focuses on the research and production of modified plastics materials for automobiles, with its product center mainly focusing on modified PP materials. It can be seen that modified PP is highly favored in the automotive field. In the era of rapid development of new energy, the new generation of manufacturing represented by new energy vehicles has become the inevitable direction of future automotive development. The many advantages of this material make it a "seed player" in the automotive materials field.

Future Growth Points of Modified PP Materials in New Energy Vehicles

Battery Box and Battery Bracket

One of the core components of new energy passenger vehicles is the battery system, and modified PP materials have excellent performance in battery boxes and battery brackets. Modified PP materials have high strength, impact resistance, and chemical resistance, which can effectively protect the battery system and improve the safety and stability of the battery.

Interior and Exterior Components

The interior and exterior components of new energy passenger vehicles have higher requirements for material performance. Modified PP materials have good surface texture, abrasion resistance, and high-temperature resistance, which can make interior and exterior components more durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Structural Components and Body Parts

New energy passenger vehicles have higher requirements for body structural components and body parts, requiring higher strength, stiffness, and good corrosion resistance. Modified PP materials have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, which can meet the requirements of new energy passenger vehicles for structural components and body parts.

Lamp Frames and Other Detail Parts

Modified PP materials are also widely used in lamp frames and other detail parts of new energy passenger vehicles. Modified PP materials have good optical properties and weather resistance, which can ensure the transparency and durability of lamp frames. At the same time, modified PP materials can also be used to manufacture other detail parts, such as door handles and air conditioning vents.

Charging Piles

In charging piles, modified PP materials are usually used in the design and manufacturing of charging guns and brackets. Since charging guns and brackets need to have high strength and durability to withstand the high temperature and changes in voltage and current during the charging process, modified PP materials can also help charging piles achieve higher charging efficiency and faster charging speeds. Due to the better electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of modified PP materials, charging piles can transmit current and heat more quickly, thereby improving charging efficiency.
