SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC

Automotive qualification and controlled carbon footprint

In the automotive industry, materials are judged by evidence, not claims:
qualification status, industrial robustness, and increasingly, a measured and documented carbon footprint.

SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC meets these requirements consistently.
It is a modified high-impact polypropylene copolymer, already qualified and implemented in OEM and Tier-1 environments, with a certified carbon footprint in line with international standards.

Compliance with current automotive standards

SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC is approved according to several recognized automotive specifications, including:

  • DBL 1232.59
  • TL 52660-B
  • GS 93016

These approvals enable direct integration into existing programs, significantly reducing material qualification lead times and securing industrialization phases.

Controlled functional performance

The grade offers a balanced mechanical profile suitable for automotive applications:

  • good impact resistance on injection-molded parts
  • flexural modulus adapted to functional and trim components
  • elongation at break ensuring deformation tolerance
  • confirmed thermal stability with aging resistance exceeding 300 h at 150 °C

This balance ensures reliable long-term performance under mechanical, thermal and environmental constraints.

Certified and comparative carbon footprint

The carbon footprint of SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC has been determined through a life cycle assessment (LCA) conducted in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14040, DIN EN ISO 14044 and DIN EN ISO 14067.

Results show:

  • 0.86 kg CO₂e per kg of SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC
  • 2.44 kg CO₂e per kg of a comparable virgin PP/EPDM/TPO blend
  • Approx. 1.58 kg CO₂e reduction per kg of material

These figures provide OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers with quantified, verifiable data to support product-level carbon reduction initiatives.

Process stability and serial production readiness

SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC is a mature grade designed for injection molding, with clearly defined and reproducible processing parameters.

For purchasing and industrialization teams, this translates into:

  • reduced process risks
  • improved repeatability in serial production
  • better control of indirect costs related to material adjustments

Target automotive applications

The grade is particularly suitable for:

  • wheel arch liners
  • technical covers
  • interior trim components
  • non-structural functional parts

Applications where robustness, material consistency, OEM compliance and controlled carbon footprint are mandatory.

A qualified, measured and deployment-ready solution

SECULENE PPX 8027 S0 DC addresses projects requiring:

  • an already qualified material
  • shortened decision and validation timelines
  • secured material supply chains
  • reliable and usable carbon footprint data

It represents a rational, proven option for demanding automotive programs where material validation and environmental impact must be objectively substantiated.
