Efficient Vehicle Profiles Polyamide Slide Rails For Automotive Sunroofs

Overview

Within the automotive sunroof mechanism, Slide Rails are used to guide the glass panel and open/close the car sunroof. It requires a robust, high-precision solution for the smooth operation of the roof throughout the lifetime of the vehicle. Automotive is a fast-paced industry demands new ideas and solutions every day. The lighter of a vehicle, the further it can travel. Many automakers are striving to make their vehicles lighter for maximum efficiency.

Most of today's auto sunroofs slide rails are made of Aluminum which is heavy in weight and usually are noise during the open/close operation. Automotive sunroof manufacturuers such as Webasto, Inteva, Inalfa already use Light-Weight High-Precision Plastic Profiles to replace the heavy aluminum components for some roof modules because using lightweight, efficient plastic profiles instead of heavier metal components can help vehicle manufacturers to gain a competitive edge in many ways. However, the plastic materials must be corrosion-resistant, match their surround materials and reduce maintenance needs. These are where Kronos's Glassfiber-Reinforced Polyamide Vehicle Profiles come into play. 

Kronos Precision Extrusion is an innovative Singapore-Germany joint venture that leads the way in developing and manufacturing Thermal Insulating Polyamide Profiles with Astonishing High Precision Thermoplastic Extrusion process and techniques. We offer a range of standard and custom-made extruded profiles from Virgin Polyamide 66/Polyamide 6 (PA66/PA6 or Nylon 66/Nylon 6) and other materials for constructional, commercial, institutional, automotive, and engineering applications.
