In the new Concentrol automotive sector catalogue, highlights different key points of today’s automotive sector that our company is committed to. Specifically, the following aspects: Sustainability and environment; Safety and comfort and Style and design.
Commitment to the environment
The automobile sector is aware that one of the main challenges it faces is the decrease in fuel consumption to reduce polluting emissions. Concentrol, with its commitment to sustainability and continuous improvement, gives its full support to the sector by designing new products that adapt to its needs. For example, closely linked to the polyurethane sector and the automobile sector, our company works in line with the trend of increasing co-solvent release agents or hybrid mix 50:50 and water-based release agents, a trend that aims to eliminate VOC emissions. Concentrol offers a wide range of environmentally friendly products and constantly works to optimize the results of its products.
The use of light materials such as aluminium, replacing steel, is one of the lines of work that is being proposed by the sector, with the aim of reducing the weight of vehicles and reducing fuel consumption and polluting emissions as a consequence. Also, thermoplastic polyurethane systems, present with their reliability, consistency and lightness, become a material that meets the standards required from new cars without adding greater weight to the structure.
Safety and comfort
Concentrol adapts its solutions to the ever-increasing demands of the automotive parts sector to achieve high safety and comfort standards. Aspects such as excessive noise can lead to negative connotations during driving, especially for the driver. It is for this reason that acoustically insulating materials and those that absorb noise are very important in vehicles and in their safety.
Style and design
Vehicle quality finishes are highly valued by customers. Aspects such as color and durability can extend its guarantees, which will help attract buyers. Color is an important part of car design, since car manufacturers want coatings of high performance, quality and reliability. Contentrol works continuously to improve efficiency and sustainability of materials and coating processes and has a wide range of silicone surface additives, silicone and wax emulsions, antifoaming agents and others for any type of surface and application.
