.
Inserts are manufactured in a single process operation using injection moulding tools with turning plates and back-injected short glass fibre reinforced polypropylene compounds to integrate support structures for headrests, backrests
etc.
The child seat headrest, developed as a technology demonstration, is manufactured through a particle foam composite injection molding process
.
government-funded projects
government-funded projectsThe technology showcase product is the result of a multinational research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy as part of the Central Innovation Programme for Supporting SMEs
.
Efficient production process
Efficient production processTo manufacture the headrest, the project partners developed an alternative production process based on PCIM
.
Number of parts reduced from six to one
Number of parts reduced from six to oneIn contrast, most headrests are currently mass-produced using multiple individual components

Great potential for applications, including other assemblies
Great potential for applications, including other assembliesLANXESS foresees a wide range of applications for Tepex materials and new production processes, such as baby carriers, backrests and armrests, seat shells for autonomous vehicles with new complex seating concepts, and comfortable seats for shuttle buses, VIP buses and family buses shell
.
Lightweight seats are especially beneficial for electric vehicles
.
“As part of HiAnt’s customer service, we help project partners develop and apply these types of components and related processes
.
Our services include drape simulation, tool design, and handling techniques for heat-softening Tepex inserts
.
We also support batch production processes.
