Non-reinforced grades are suitable for components that require surface smoothness and transparency, while fiber-reinforced grades are suitable for components that require higher strength and rigidity.
SUMIPLOY series can be used for parts that require sliding properties. The Sumiploy series has excellent rigidity and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range (-100 to 180°C), creep resistance at high temperatures, and chemical resistance to gasoline and engine oil. SUMIPLOY series also has excellent sliding properties, so it is used in the following applications.

• Lamp peripherals (reflectors, lens holders, etc.)
• Fuse case
• Oil pump
• Brake shaft bushing
• Thrust Washer
• Oil control valve sprue
• Gears etc.

Examples of SUMIKAEXCEL PES applications in automobiles

SUMIKAEXCEL PES has high heat resistance and excellent dimensional stability, making it suitable for use in engine compartment parts and lamp peripheral parts. Application examples are shown below.

Figure 6-2-1 Example of SUMIKAEXCEL PES

Around the lamp

SUMIKAEXCEL 4100G has high heat resistance, excellent dimensional stability, and generates very little gas, so it is used in automobile reflectors, etc.
