A wheelhouse is a small room or shelter on a ship or boat, where the wheel used for steering the boat is situated.Originally all polyurethane tyres were ‘Cast’ in so much as the material was mixed and then poured. It was the best way to achieve a hard wearing tyre and meant that a mould could be made easily and at a low cost.
However the increased usage of Polyurethane, over rubber, meant manufacturing needed to speed up significantly. Therefore injection moulded Polyurethane was developed. Using two forms of bonding (mechanical and chemical) the injected polyurethane tyre was formed and bonded onto the nylon wheel centre.
Vehicle wheel wells are made with a type of material called automotive polyurethane wheelhouse. It is constructed of polyurethane, a plastic material renowned for its toughness and resistance to wear and tear. In the auto industry, it is frequently utilised to create components including wheel wells, fenders, and body panels.
Global automotive polyurethane wheelhouse market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH
The ACOUSTIFLEX name denotes a cutting-edge group of specially formulated polyurethane systems created to provide sound absorption and lightweight acoustic insulation in transportation-related acoustic applications.
Numerous acoustic applications, such as flexible high-resiliency and viscoelastic foam carpet underlay, dash insulators and stuffer pads, semi-rigid foam, wheelhouse, transmission tunnel, and pillar cavity fill insulators, and elastomeric, heavy layer noise barriers, can benefit from the use of ACOUSTIFLEX polyurethane systems.
Numerous manufacturing processes, including open- and closed-pour (injection), high-pressure, cold-cure moulding, and free-rise batch block, are compatible with ACOUSTIFLEX polyurethane systems (i.e. box pour). With ACOUSTIFLEX polyurethane systems, a variety of substrates are acceptable, including carpet, PVC, EVA, and PUR.
Regarding transmission loss, acoustic absorption or dynamic noise vibration damping, good thermal performance and compliance with a wide range of flammability requirements, quick cycle times optimised for production efficiency, and compliance with the low emission standards for most OEMs, it offers a unique functionality or combination of functionalities.
