smart forvision: Thermoplastic Polymer Wheel Rim
Loading...
Uploaded by BASF on Sep 19, 2011
The plastic wheel rims are made of Ultramid® Structure, an innovative high-performance plastic. It significantly reduces vehicle weight, lowers emissions and extends range.
Ultramid® Structure has reinforcing glass fibers added to make the plastic robust and improve its mechanical properties even more. It makes the wheel rims durable enough for continuous use long-term use.
Ultramid® Structure is suitable for any application requiring high strength plus lightweight construction. This is the case in many other areas as well as the car industry.

so how does it take for these things to break down in the garbage
-
how will those do on tuner cars ? are they strong enough for racing ?
-
yeah, but are lighter than my Enkei RPF-01 at 15.2lbs ((17x7.5))
-
It's very rare when engineering firms have nice promotional videos like these. Really well done. =D
-
very cool. I'm waiting for a RWD electric with the a single EV motor right on the rear axcel. A small truck would be an awesome application!

@632428 High-performance composite materials offer a high level of stability and crash safety. Numerous tests, standard for steel and aluminium wheels, such as the rotating bar fatigue test, test on the biaxial wheel-test rig, impact test and radial run-out test, demonstrated the potential of the rims for series production. These tests subject the wheels to the most extreme conditions such as driving at high speeds around bends, emergency braking or driving through potholes.
