Automotive air ducts produced by 3D Blow Molding in DuPont ™ Hytrel® HTR 8441 TPC maximizes turbocharged engine performance by reducing emissions, reducing component weight, and making vehicles more efficient, following the modern standards of the global automotive industry. DuPont ™ Transportation & Advanced Polymers has developed a product line that has made it possible to manufacture an integrated air duct for turbocharged engines in Brazil, which connects the engine to the intercooler, increasing the efficiency of this system. DuPont ™ Hytrel® polyester-based thermoplastic elastomeric thermoplastic rigid and tough, the air duct fulfills its task in a particularly efficient way, as it resists oil and fuel vapors, high temperatures up to 180 ° C and vibrations constant, while maintaining the solidity of the system under these conditions. In addition, 3D blow molding technology allows for greater process and design flexibility, for integration of components, such as those needed for resonators, sensors or fixings. Together, the combination of lower weight, more efficient production and assembly, and function integration (eliminating various intermediate components) provide a significant cost advantage over traditional options made of metals or rubbers.
