The German automaker BMW, the Austrian plastic processing machine manufacturer Engel and the German molder Hofmann Innovation Group have joined forces to develop an innovative tailgate spoiler for the BMW 5-series vehicles that have been launched in September 2009. The new tailgate spoiler includes two components produced by injection molding from a rubber modified, 20% mineral filled PC/ABS blend i.e. Bayblend™ T90 MF-20 supplied by Bayer Material Science. These two PC/ABS parts are then bonded together with a thermoplastic elastomer i.e. Thermolast A TA7/AOZ grade from Kraiburg. As a result this eliminates the need to glue components together in a secondary operation.
