Owens Corning-Vehicle Light Weighting – Competitive Composite Solution vs Metals
The paper will discuss the development of a new Class A, low-density Sheet Molding Compound, TCA Ultra Lite™, that is 37% lighter than TCA. Improvements in material technology including alternative fillers and fibers, and process technology
combined with effective product design have been used to demonstrate significant weight reductions that can be attained on a decklid.
