Scott Bader and Shape Corp have worked in partnership to produce the automotive industry’s first curved, multi-hollow pultruded carbon fiber bumper beam for the newly unveiled 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.The pultruded bumper beam is manufactured using Scott Bader’s Crestapol urethane acrylate resins. Crestapol resins were chosen due to their market leading strength, toughness and lightweight properties as well as their ease of use and excellent bonding with carbon fibers. The substantial weight saving while maintaining strength was a particularly appealing property when compared with more traditional materials. The urethane acrylate resins have produced a superior lightweight carbon fiber component that helps to protect the rear and expanded boot of the Corvette.This is a significant project for Scott Bader as it’s the first ever pultruded part within an automotive application.
