Transportation

Automotive, bus, and heavy truck manufacturers understand the relationship between vehicle weight, fuel economy, and emission control standards. Spartech is partnering with these OEMs in an effort to continually develop sheet alloys that lower weight and don't pollute the air with harmful VOCs.

Millennium V An advanced alloy that provides the high heat deflection and stiffness properties required by HVAC units designed for transporting perishable products to market. With a weatherable, paint replacement acrylic surface Millennium V eliminates the need to paint and, consequently, the VOC's associated with the paint process.
LowE Poly Initially developed by our sheet and rollstock group to support the manufacture of fuel cells for the VW Passat, Spartech's Low-E Poly sheet virtually eliminates gasoline emissions and helps automotive manufacturers meet the demanding performance criteria set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Soft Touch TPE In order to address the automotive industry's desire to find more environmentally friendly alternatives to PVC and to ease the recycle ability for all interior trim components, Spartech has engineered Soft Touch TPE. This olefin based sheet product meets the demanding physical, mechanical, anti-scratch, and mar resistant performance criteria demanded by the automotive industry.
