Polyurethane for Cars: Efficiency and Value — the Opel Frontera B Example
Using polyurethane in automotive parts is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its high reliability, strength, and durability. Today we'll look at just how effective polyurethane can be and how using it can save car owners real money. As an example, let's look at the Opel Frontera B, produced from 1998 to 2004.
The Parts Availability Problem for the Opel Frontera B
The Opel Frontera B is a crossover that its owners tend to drive hard. This vehicle is often pushed to its limits, and its parts are frequently subjected to heavy loads. Unfortunately, however, parts for these models are very rare, and finding them at reasonable prices can be difficult.
One of our customers came to us looking for engine mounts for his car. (Curious what an engine mount actually does and why it matters? See our guide, What Is an Engine Mount For?) We had the rear engine mount in stock, since it's a popular item, but the two side mounts — left and right — turned out to be expensive and hard to find. The original parts cost between UAH 13,000 and 18,000, while European equivalents can be found for UAH 4,000-5,000.
A Polyurethane Solution
Our customer couldn't afford to wait a long time for parts to arrive, since the engine mounts in his car were already in critical condition. In this situation, we offered a solution — manufacturing custom polyurethane engine mounts. (Want to see how this kind of part reconstruction actually works? Read our guide, What Is Polyurethane Engine Mount and Strut Mount Reconstruction?)
Our engineers took the old parts from the customer, made precise measurements, and recorded all the necessary specifications, including the overall dimensions. By using the original mounting brackets together with high-quality polyurethane, we were able to manufacture mounts that cost the customer just UAH 1,500.
That's 10 times cheaper than buying the original parts! And that's not the only benefit.
An Added Benefit of Polyurethane Parts
Besides the significant cost savings, polyurethane parts have another important advantage — a guarantee of quality. The material doesn't sag, doesn't delaminate, and doesn't lose its properties even under heavy everyday driving. (Not sure whether polyurethane or rubber is the better choice for your car? We break down the differences in a separate article.) We provide a warranty on every part we manufacture, and if any issues come up, we're ready to help our customers quickly and effectively.
In Summary...
Manufacturing custom polyurethane parts is an economically smart and reliable option for car owners, especially when the original parts are too expensive or too hard to find. Our customers can count on high quality, durability, and fast problem-solving.
