Automotive Radar Systems

Autonomous vehicles rely on radars and sensors to maintain safe and efficient driverless 'driving', including driver assistance technologies such as collision warning systems, automatic emergency braking, and lane departure warnings.

Industry requirements:

Low dielectric properties for radar transparency
Material and design solutions for radar absorbency
Excellent dimensional stability and low warpage
Excellent balance of mechanical properties
Resistance to exterior environments, including road salt, automotive fluids, thermal
cycling, and hydrolysis resistance
Improved laser-marking properties

Spotlight on Crastin® PBT:

Stiff, tough PBT thermoplastic
Superior electrical insulating properties
Good resistance to water, oils and salt
Absorbs and reduces signal noise, increasing the safety in road traffic
Resin of choice for cost-effective, high-performing automotive radar systems
