Grupor® series mouldings for security systems

Safety first. Grupor® energy absorption elements and components protect car passengers and reduce personal injury in the case of an accident. Installed in vehicle doors, as steering column lining or knee protection, they act in all areas as hidden passive security features and add to the passengers’ prtection.  40 years of expertise combined with the latest manufacturing processes and efficient foam machines make Grupor® mouldings stand out. As an ISO/TS 16949/2009-certified company we guarantee that your orders are executed and processed reliably.  The examples below reflect a small excerpt from the range of performance of the Grupor® security features.

In the manufacture of automobiles, mouldings made of Grupor® granulated foam plastics not only protect car passengers, they also reduce its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Crash pads e.g. in the knee or steering column area

Grupor® crash pads made of granulated foam plastics surround steering column and instrument carrier and absorb collision energy in the event of a crash, thereby reducing risk of injury suffered by vehicle passengers.

Side-collision protection

Due to the deformation zone hardly existing at the side of the vehicle, the passengers are at particular risk in the event of a side impact. Grupor® side-collision protection – absorption elements in vehicle cars increase the protection. They absorb a part of the collision energy and increase the safety of car passengers.

Pedestrian and passer-by protection

Absorption elements protect pedestrians and passers-by at the front and at the rear. Grupor® bumpers play an integral role in the Crash Management System of leading car manufacturers.

Hic Pads / A-B-C pillars

A-B-C pillars made of Grupor® granulated foam plastics help prevent or minimise head injuries. The EPP mouldings warp during a collision and absorb part of the collision energy. 

Dash panel components

As in all areas of carries or lorries, Grupor® crash pads are also installed in dash panel components. For instance, in the glove compartment cover, as inserts in loudspeakers and many other components.
