Automotive & Infrastructure
Engineered Polymer Compounds for Automotive & Infrastructure
Modern manufacturing demands polymers that act like metals but weigh a fraction of the amount. Flamingo provides technical compounds, foaming agents, and specialized additives that help automotive OEMs achieve lightweighting goals, meet strict flame retardancy codes, and enhance the mechanical integrity of infrastructure materials.
Industry Challenges We Solve
Lightweighting for Fuel Efficiency
Utilizing Chemical Foaming Agents (like Hydrocerol) to create cellular structures that reduce part weight by 10-20% without sacrificing stiffness.
Strict Safety & Fire Codes
Halogenated and non-halogenated Flame Retardants (FR) designed for wire and cable compounding, meeting UL 94 standards.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Partnering with Premix to supply electrically conductive and static-dissipative plastics for sensitive electronic and automotive sensors.
Surface Aesthetics & Durability
Anti-scratch and UV weathering additives for interior dashboards and exterior trim, preventing fading and marring.
Recommended Formulations
- Engineering Colour Masterbatches
High thermal stability for PA, ABS, PC, and POM resins used in under-hood parts.
- Chemical Foaming Additives
Sink-mark elimination and cycle-time reduction in automotive injection molding.
- Anti-Corrosive (VCI) Masterbatches
Protecting metal infrastructure components from rust during transit and storage.
