Download or read book Plastics in Automobiles written by Mel Schlechter and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1994-10-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is intended to provide a basic understanding of the major products, technologies, applications, marketing practices and competitive scenario of the plastic automotive business. In addition, this study will offer current market estimates of the most important polymers broken down by specific automotive application and will furnish projections estimating the growth of each market segment over the next five years. Inherent in these estimates and projections will be an assessment of both intraplastic competition as well as the battle between plastics and glass, rubber and metals within the automotive industry. The impact of new technologies, volume of car production, and enforcement of federal and state legislation by the EPA will be major considerations in evaluating the automotive plastics market over the next five years. This study will also present opportunities for new plastic systems in both current and future automotive design and applications.
