Authors Abstract
Content
Expanded Royalite is the first thermoplastic material that is felt to be suitable for the fabrication of automotive and truck bodies. Its unique laminate construction, which provides very high rigidity-to-weight ratio and impact resistance, makes it feasible for these applications. Low cost tooling and the ability to form large complex parts make the economics of fabrication practical.
