GMT sheet
ZIRCON is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of advanced composite materials. We are committed to providing innovative lightweight material solutions for the global automotive industry. With our cutting-edge Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastic (GMT) sheet technology, we have established long-term partnerships with leading automotive manufacturers worldwide, supporting vehicle lightweighting, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.
Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastics (GMT) is a high-performance composite material consisting of a thermoplastic matrix (PP, PA, PC, PET, etc.) reinforced with long glass fiber mat or continuous fiber mat. It combines lightweight properties with superior strength, making it an ideal choice for automotive lightweight components.
Key Advantages:
✅ Lightweight – Up to 30%~50% weight reduction compared to metal parts, improving fuel efficiency or EV range.
✅ High Strength & Impact Resistance – Glass fiber reinforcement ensures excellent mechanical properties for structural and load-bearing applications.
✅ Recyclable & Eco-Friendly – Thermoplastic base allows for material recycling, aligning with automotive sustainability goals.
✅ Customizable Performance – By incorporating Crerax® expandable microspheres (via dry/wet processes), GMT sheets can be optimized for enhanced lightweighting, noise/thermal insulation, or cushioning properties to meet specific automotive requirements.
Primary Automotive Applications:
ZIRCON collaborates with major global automakers (including OEMs in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and EVs) to supply high-performance GMT sheets and tailored solutions, helping customers achieve lightweighting targets while reducing production costs.
With innovative technology, consistent quality, and rapid responsiveness as our core strengths, we continue to drive advancements in automotive materials for a greener future of mobility.
