Intended Uses and ApplicationsConstruction Equipment
In the area of construction equipment, remote or unmanned robot operation is rapidly becoming more common. Also, the functionality of exterior parts and the entire body of such equipment, which must be capable of operating in harsh environments over long periods, is of greater importance than in the past. PDCP is used for a wide range of exterior parts as an alternative to sheet metal or fiber-reinforced resin, mainly due to its well-balanced properties (rigidity, impact strength, heat resistance), productivity, and design flexibility.
Example Application OneEngine Hoods
Reasons
- High heat resistance
- High impact strength
- High degree of design flexibility (easily accommodates openings and streamlined shapes)
- Significant economic benefits (molding equipment costs less than that for other methods)
- Easy to join and paint (easy to join assembly parts)
- Lightweight
Example Application TwoEngine Bonnets
Reasons
- High impact strength
- High degree of design flexibility (easily accommodates openings and streamlined shapes)
- Significant economic benefits (molding equipment costs less than that for other methods)
- Easy to join and paint (easy to join assembly parts)
- Lightweight
