Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) is a highly adaptable closed-cell bead foam that offers a variety of exceptional qualities, such as exceptional energy absorption, multiple impact resistance, thermal insulation, buoyancy, water and chemical resistance, an incredibly high strength to weight ratio, and 100% recyclable material.
High-Density Polyethylene is perfect for cartons, containers, pipes, and other building components since it is robust and resistant to moisture and chemicals. For instance, inflexible pipes, toys, buckets, park seats, detergent bottles, and cereal box liners.
The Global automotive expandable plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.

The usage of plastic components over machined metal parts has seen a particularly large development spurt in the automotive sector, which is largely due to the continuous worldwide momentum of electric car manufacturing.
Due to their lightweight qualities—which can range from 30% to 50% less than those of metal—automobile manufacturers are considering adopting plastics as the foundation for the construction of automotive parts. In situations when a detachable panel is needed for repair or servicing, screw rivets offer a fastening that is both simple to apply and suitable.
They are employed in bumper assemblies, inside upholstery, and splash shields around wheel arches for automobile applications. In addition to furniture hardware, screw rivets are used in maritime, audio, and home appliances.
Two panels can be joined together using barbed push-in rivets, sometimes referred to as fir tree/pin tree clips. With just a push-fit motion, they are straightforward to install.
They are utilized in vehicle wheel arch bumpers, splash shields, bumper assembly, interior lining, and trim. Other uses include furniture, electrical and electronic equipment, and home appliances.
