Plastic Injection Molding for Automotive Industry

As a 100% auxiliary Company we have not own product, we work hand-in-hand with customers according to specifications and norms, from design(proposing improvements in geometry and raw material), prototype creation, injection simulation through to the applicable laboratory report to homologate it, up to serial production based on final application.

Automotive is our main market, supplying like “A” provider to different plants of our customers located in Europe, America and Asia. By this reason, we are certified with IATF-16949 standard.

Where can you find our parts in the car?

Powertrain / Drivetrain

Manufacturers of bearings and transmissions are using different thermoplastic parts injected in Zatec in their products like gear boxes where the parts need a good tribological behavior located in cars, trucks, industrial and agricultural vehicles.

In case of bearings, the injected plastic cages (rollers and balls) have a good relation between resistance and elasticity. These parts, separate, hold and maintain the rolling pieces at the same distance. The cages, are subjected to mechanical stresses through friction, inertia and deformation forces. They may degrade when subjected to the chemical effects of some lubricants, additives or products generated by ageing, in addition to the actions of organic solvents.

Different grades of PA with glass fiber, molybdenum, Teflon are used in this area for example.

Anti-Vibration Systems

We inject parts that our customers use in their processes like inserts to overmold with rubber in anti-vibration systems to avoid or minimize the noise in the interior due to uneven grounds. By this way, helping to improve the dynamic of driving and comfort.

Some examples are sleeves or similar parts used in components known like “silent blocks”.

The range of raw materials used is wide, you may found materials such as POM, different grades of PA, PPA with additives like glass fiber, impact modified… besides of elastomers thermoplastics.

Systems Transfer Fluids

Our customers manufacture and develop systems transfer fluids for oil, fuel, air… and we inject parts to connect different pipes or hoses. Some examples are clips, connectors, valves or similar parts in materials like POM, different grades of PA, PPA… with glass fiber, carbon fiber, heat stabilized, flame retardants…

Interiors (roof, pillars…) and others components

Many of our customers manufacture complete assemblies to OEMs, like roofs, pillars, center consoles, seats, doors… In these assemblies you may found many parts made of thermoplastic injected in Zatec.

Depending on final application where it is necessary a good tribological behavior due to friction, impact modified or low emissions of odor… we can inject several materials such as PC, PC-ABS, ABS-PA, POM, different grades of PA with a lot of additives for parts like clips, brackets, retainers, grommets …
