Yanfeng has selected Elix Polymers‘ PC/ABS 5130 for interior parts in the new SGM Buick GL8, following a close collaboration between Yanfeng, Sinochem and Elix Polymers to develop and industrialize several interior components.
The parts include the seatback panel, seat armrest, LCD screen frame and other highly demanding interior parts. The Elix PC/ABS 5130 material was chosen for these applications as it meets the GM material standards, provides high heat and impact resistance and excellent paintability. It also has low emissions and odor and high flowability, so it can be easily injected into thin-walled parts with low cycle times.
