Recently, Japanese chemical company Mitsui Chemical officially accelerated the introduction of new automotive materials into the market, which is a polypropylene-infiltrated UD tape. In addition to being lightweight, the UD tape has the advantages of thermoplastic molding and can be used as a structural supplement. Advice from the design stage, in addition to the use of existing UD tapes such as thermosetting resins, and the market share of PP materials with the world's top suppliers.
UD tape: a new material that makes vehicles lighter
Automotive emissions are one of the main culprits for greenhouse gas sources, and they also increase the cost of the environment and manufacturers. By using new materials such as UD belts, vehicles can be made lighter to reduce carbon emissions. However, these fiber ribbons are costly and difficult to mass produce. To solve this problem, five EU-funded partners from the European Union gathered to launch a project called FORTAPE covering the entire industry chain. The project required a wide range of beneficiaries to develop new integrated technologies that make the most efficient use of materials and energy, making UD tapes even better suited for vehicles and aircraft.
The UD tape using PP is easily thermoformed, and can also be formed into a complicated shape. For the first time in an EU initiative, the use of a cost-effective method to produce unidirectional fiber ribbons for the manufacture and reinforcement of parts in cars and aircraft will make the parts lighter and more environmentally friendly. UD tapes can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of plastic parts and can also be used to make structural parts, reinforcement and thermoformed multilayers.
UD tape production focuses on three spindles: UD tape manufacturing, part manufacturing, and process and part modeling. Three different fiber impregnation techniques have been studied internationally to develop innovative processes for the manufacture of UD carbon fiber and glass fiber ribbons to increase fiber content. Using UD belts as window regulators to enhance automation will help meet the cycle and production needs of the automotive industry. At the same time, a window frame manufacturing process using fireproof polyamide UD tape was developed for the aviation industry. The production capacity of electrolytes for lithium ion secondary batteries has been enhanced on the international market, and the integrated molding technology "Prelamtac" for metal and resin, as well as practical techniques for training with small drones and smart phones, are all seeking to enter the automotive field.
Strengthening components to predict the mechanical properties of parts and the manufacturing process are key to the introduction of new materials in the automotive industry. A reduction in materials and energy consumption will reduce manufacturing costs and reduce environmental impact. The technical and economic feasibility of the process has been successfully demonstrated. In order to achieve industrial implementation, new adjustments and optimizations are needed, and the possibility of making innovation mature and marketable will continue to be explored.

1. Hdpe Geocell
HDPE Geocell is a new type of high-strength geosynthetics, which is popular in domestic and abroad. It is a kind of three-dimensional network structure shaped by high-strength HDPE sheets through ultrasonic welding of high strength. Currently, it is being widely used in construction, such as highway, railway, bridge, dyke, etc.
Features
1. With a retractable, telescoping transport available, the construction can be tensioned into a network, fill dirt, gravel, concrete and other loose material, the structure constitutes a powerful and large lateral stiffness limit.
2. Light weight, abrasion resistance, chemical stability, light oxidative aging, acid, suitable for different soil and desert soil conditions.
3. High lateral limits and non-slip, anti-deformation, effectively enhance the dispersion of load carrying capacity and subgrade.
4. Changing Geocell height, distance, etc. weld geometry can meet different project needs.
5, flexibility, transport small; easy to join, construction speed.

2. Geogrid
Description of Geogrid
1. reinforce the base, efficiently allot and diffuse the pressure, prolong the using time;2. increase the load-bearing capabilities;3. avoid the base becoming deformed and creaking (for the material washed away);4. improve the endure, reduce the pressure of the blocking wall, save the cost, prolong the using time, and reduce the servicing;5. reduce the crook and track,6. be applicable of all kinds of soil
Application of Plastic Geogrid
1. Road surface reinforcement of road, railway and airport road;
2. Maintenance, reconstruction and widening of the old road surface;
3. Reinforcement of soil roadbed, irrigation channels and water dams.

3. Geo mattress
Made from PP (polypropylene) or PET (polyester) high strength filament Woven Geotextile. The FP geo mattress, the water flows through the filter point will be down two pieces of fabric together. It cannot let pump liquid into filter point, for the elimination of slope seepage, eliminate the pore water pressure. This type of FP geo-mattress filling mortar, which can be widely used in the underground water level. It is high and the permafrost area, play a protective role in dam.

5. Drainage Strip
Plastic vertical drain is like a cross parallel strips made of polyethylene and polypropylene as core board and wrapped by non-oven fabric as filter layer. Core board is to play a supportive role and drain the leaking water and air out of ground. 
Plastic vertical drain is inserted into soft soil foundation by drilling machine, under the upper part of the prepressure loading, The pore water in soft soil will be drained out through plastic vertical drain to the horizontal drainage system, and drain outward to accelerate the soft ground consolidation.
