PLASTIC INJECTION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Plastic injection moulding has become an essential technique for manufacturing automotive components, revolutionising the design and production of modern vehicles.

Thanks to its versatility, lightness and efficiency, plastic injection moulding has enabled manufacturers to optimise their processes and improve the quality of their products

ADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

The use of plastics in the automotive industry offers many advantages:

They are lightweight, which helps reduce overall vehicle weight and improves fuel efficiency, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
The automotive industry uses plastics to withstand extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, moisture, and chemicals, while maintaining their integrity and functionality over time.
They offer design flexibility, allowing the creation of complex and customised components. They are also economical and, in some cases, recyclable, contributing to the sector's sustainability.

SILICONE INJECTION IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Liquid silicone moulding injection (LSR) is used in the automotive industry to manufacture parts that require high flexibility, thermal resistance, and durability. This process allows silicone to be moulded into complex shapes, making it ideal for vehicle gaskets, seals, and cushioning parts.

Manufacturers especially value liquid silicone because it can withstand extreme temperatures and chemicals. Its high strength makes it a perfect material for automotive applications.

ADVANTAGES OF SILICONE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

Silicone has several key advantages in the automotive industry:

It is highly temperature-resistant and ideal for engine and heating or cooling systems applications.
Its elasticity and wear resistance make it ideal for durable seals and gaskets.
In addition, silicone is resistant to chemicals, ensuring stable performance in adverse conditions and improving the service life of automotive parts

SUSTAINABILITY

OSF operates a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme and is committed to continuous improvement for sustainable development. We strive to minimise our environmental impact and contribute positively to the community:

We hold the Ecovadis Silver Seal, recognising our social responsibility and sustainability efforts. This label validates our commitment to transparency and best practices in environmental, social, and ethical terms.
We promote environmental awareness among our employees and customers by using returnable packaging to reduce waste and minimise environmental impact. This system reduces waste generation and fosters a circular economy by enabling efficient reuse and recycling of our packaging.
We practice self-consumption as an effective way to reduce our carbon footprint. We have, therefore, installed solar panels on our premises, allowing us to generate renewable energy.

ENGINEERING IN CO-DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

We offer advice and collaboration in designing plastic and silicone parts that meet our customers' functional, resistance, and aesthetic requirements.

Our experience and collaboration with our raw material suppliers also provide guidance on selecting materials according to the product's needs, including flexibility, resistance, hardness, insulation, and conductivity requirements.

During the process, we propose improvements and innovations that we consider appropriate and adaptations to make injection moulding manufacturing feasible. We collaborate in R&D to develop new products, contributing to our experience

Technical parts and aesthetic finishing

We specialise in manufacturing technical plastic and silicone parts for the automotive sector, taking advantage of these materials' exceptional properties.

Both plastic and silicone raw materials are excellently resistant to chemicals and wear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh conditions.

On the other hand, we manufacture parts with very demanding aesthetic requirements, which require finishes such as texturing, different finishing polishes or finishes for subsequent painting.
