Engineered polyolefin. (Materials).


The 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche The Chevrolet Avalanche is Chevrolet's sport utility truck. It is a four-door, six-seat pickup truck with a somewhat SUV-like flavor, known as a "sport utility truck". Avalanche is based on the full-size long-wheelbase General Motors SUVs (such as the Chevrolet Suburban), and  features two lockable storage compartments on either side of its reconfigurable cargo box with covers molded of Sequel 1880 engineered polyolefins. With a flexural flexural

 modulus of approximately 300 kpsi, Sequel 1880 polyolefin is said to be the stiffest TPO (Twisted Pair Only) Refers to the use of twisted pair wire when other options are available. For example, a TPO suffix at the end of 3com Ethernet adapter model numbers indicates the card has only an RJ45 connector.  currently approved for use at General Motors. Pre-production issues with other mold-in-color exterior parts prompted another molder to switch to the company's materials as replacements for the originally specified TPOs. Both the bumper fascias and the body-side claddings on the Avalanche are molded with the company's engineered polymers. Early-production fascias were sticking to the tool, to the extent that the molder was not able to use robotics to extract them. In addition, the appearance of these parts was said to be compromised by tiger striping Interleaving or multiplexing data to increase speed. See disk striping.

 polyolefin was said to eliminate the tiger striping and reduce cycle times as well. This improved TPO is said to allow for a very consistent molding process. (Solvay Engineered Polymers)
