Above: Celanese won an SPE award for this busbar cable support bracket
and eliminates more than 10 fasteners, to simplify assembly. UL94 Celanex PBT and PPS enabled removal of a metallic retention feature and a snap-fit design. The ergonomic design reduced assembly time
and scrap costs by up to 99%. “These innovations highlight the benefit of
collaborating with us early in the design phase, resulting in materials and components that point towards a more sustainable and resilient automo- tive future,” said Carl Sullivan, automotive market development director for Celanese.
Air intake In addition, an air intake manifold made of 100% Renycle – a grade of recycled polyamide from Radici – won an SPE award in the Power Train category. Air intake manifolds are typically made of nylon, which almost completely replaced metals. Here, the challenge was to use 100% mechanically recycled polyamide for the product – which was designed and manufactured by Marelli – while maintaining performance requirements such as high burst pressure. Radici says the material has a 70% lower carbon footprint – measured using LCA methodology – compared to the equivalent
virgin material.
Critical component Envalior – in collaboration with Ford – also won an SPE award for its contribution towards making a re-engineered exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cold tube and diffuser. By replacing stainless steel with Envalior’s Xytron
PPS material, the part has high chemical resistance and a 28% lower weight. The EGR cold tube and
