Why do you use plastic for car bumpers?

Energy absorption: Plastics deform rather than break when compressed, making them ideal for absorbing impact energy.

Durability: Plastics are resistant to corrosion, rust, and weathering, which makes them durable for long-term use.

Weight reduction: Plastics are lightweight compared to metals such as steel and aluminum, which helps reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and improves fuel efficiency.

Cost-effectiveness: Plastics are relatively inexpensive to manufacture, making them a cost-effective choice for car manufacturers.

Design flexibility: Plastics can be molded into complex shapes, allowing for greater design flexibility and aesthetic possibilities for car bumpers.

Paintability: Plastics can be easily painted to match the color of the vehicle.
