  1. FIRST BRAZILIAN PVC CONGRESS Sao Paulo, Brazil June 6-8, 2005 Helmuth Leitner

  2. PVC in Automotive • There are good news from Latin America to US and Europe • PVC is increasing its volume • TPO not as good as thought • Price/performance ratio is an essential in favor of PVC • BUT WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR CRUISING SPEED

  3. PVC in Automotive • What was the background ? • The ELV in his first draft had a ban on PVC • Numerous (automotive) producer thought, it will happen • At least in the revision of ELV foreseen for 2005 • If all producers change > NO impact on internal competition • But at least one didn’t play the game in Europe

  4. PVC in Automotive • The implementation of the ELV directive • Plastics Industry (+Automotive industry?) tries to substitute parts of recycling targets versus recovery • Phase out of lead is a fact in Europe – all will follow • The choice of (german) automotive industry • NO dismantling, > shredder

  5. Options for shredder light fraction Automotive Shredder Residue Ferrous scrap Heavy fraction Shredder Light Fraction (SLF) Gasification (SVZ) Longer term: Novel gasification (e.g. Carbo-V) Pretreatment Light fraction MeOH Shredder residue-main process Shredder Granulates PVC-rich PVC-poor Chemical industry Blast Furnace

  6. Stigsnaes feedstock recycling • A new feedstock recycling unit dedicated to PVC rich streams will come on stream in early 2005 with a capacity of > 30 000 to/y • They are interested in creating a PVC rich fraction out of ASR and to treat that

  7. PVC in Automotive • PVC regaining acceptance (see also economic situation of car industry in many parts) • But NOBODY will confirm in public • Trend to leather is favoring PVC (20 % in 2007 will have leather interior) • GM-Fiat, VW, Ford and BMW using increasingly PVC (BMW serie 6 and with serie 5 indoor panel) • New Ford C Max with PVC IP and also the new Passat • Ford EcoSport in Brazil launched with PVC

  8. PVC in Automotive • BUT Ford wishes a « Green PVC » • BMW « has no policy on PVC » > progress serie 3 has PVC and PU interior • DC « neutral » no longer anti-PVC statements in their Environmental Report • as well as PSA and Renault

  9. PVC-use in cars Interior • dashboard skins, carpets, door panels, consoles, arm rests, grips, interior seals, sun visors, seat coverings, luggage compartment covers Exterior • body trim, window encapsulation, bumper spoiler, door steps, roof rack coverings Others • underbody coating, battery separation plates, fuel line protection Electrical wiring • cable insulation, moulded plugs

  10. Year 2000 SM TPO/TPU 0,0% IM SM PVC 23,2% 25,3% SC PUR 4,0% TF PVC 26,3% TF TPO/ASA 21,2% Plastics in dashboards Year 2003 • TF = Thermo Forming; SM = Slush Moulding; IM = Injection Moulding; SC = Spray Coating SM TPO/TPU SM TPO/TPU 0.2% IM SM PVC 23,2% 25,3% SM PVC 34.0% Other 50.8% SC PUR 4,0% TF PVC SC PUR 26,3% TF TPO/ASA 15.0% 21,2%

  11. Market evolution: PVC-slush 16000 14000 12000 10000 Tons 8000 6000 4000 2000 0 1995 1997 1999 2001 2003 • Total estimated European volume

  12. Material & process technology: basis for choice Performance Weight Cost Environmental aspects

  13. (material,tool, investment) Costs Stylingrequirements Design freedom TPU slush TPO foam sheet TPO compact sheet (material, tool, ABS/PVC compact sheet PUR Spray skin PUR casting Costs PVC slush PVC foam sheet • Source: VDI; “plastics in Automotive engineering” (Mannheim, 2003)

  14. Market evolution: PVC-slush Forecast Forecast • Total estimated European volume

  15. Models with PVC-slush

  16. Models with PVC-slush

  17. Material & process technology: basis for choice • Performance: • Styling requirements • Visual appearance • Touch (Haptik) • Mechanical & physical properties • Surface properties • Ageing • Environmental aspects: • Emissions • Recyclability

  18. Advantages of PVC-Slush Technology • Cost / Performance • Design Freedom • Stress Free • Esthetics (color, aspect, soft touch, grain) • Scratch Resistance • Easy Processing • Available in any tailor made color • Low fogging • Perception of quality in car

  19. Reasons for future growth • All classes of vehicles • Other interior applications of PVC-slush (design uniformity) • Door panels • Other car manufacturers

  20. PVC in Automotive - what was done • Very intensive contacts to automotive industry • Demonstrate innovation in application and end-of-life • Correct mis-information (Dioxine, ELV, phthalates,…) • Another example: • Institudo do PVC collaborates with AEA (Automotive Engineering Association)

  21. PVC in Automotive – what to do more • Get in contact with « newcomers »: Hyundai and others • Stay in contact with all players • Continue innovation • THEN PVC will stay a material of choice in cars
