There are several types of raw material body kit. The most commonly known is fiberglass, polyurethane, and carbon fiber. In addition to the body kit, this material is also used in certain parts of the vehicle such as body.
So, what is the difference between them? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Compiled from various sources, following his review.
FiberglassFiberglass simply the molten glass is drawn into a thin fiber. These fibers can be spun and mixed with resin so that it becomes a strong material.
The advantages of this material is easily formed using molds. The mold is relatively inexpensive and does not need special machine.
Even so, because it is made of glass, this material is more easily broken or cracked. the level of precision under any other material.
PolyurethanePolyurethane or polyurethane (pu) is the material a blend of rubber and plastic. Stiffness, hardness, and density of this material is very diverse, depending on the composition of the mixture.
Some of the advantages of polyurethane if used as the raw material body is a wear-resistant, more impact resistant and friction, remains flexible even in low temperatures, as well as more resistant to oil or other chemicals.
Even so, when compared to other materials, the price is more expensive polyurethane, making it relatively rarely used.
Carbon FiberCarbon fiber or carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite material which is reinforced by fiber. Plastics are commonly used generally is epoxy, but some are using polyester or vinylester.
Carbon fiber is a rigid, strong, but still light. In terms of manufacture was quite easy. Because of the character, this material is also often used to make the best construction until the modern bicycle frame.
Excess assets directly proportional to the price. Because of that, the car or motorcycle is equipped with a carbon fiber material is usually priced above average.
