DuPont is another!

Replacing metal parts with parts wrought from DuPont high-performance polymers is one proven strategy for vehicle weight reduction. Built to withstand the usual automotive rigors, lightweight DuPont™ Zytel® PLUS nylon resin can handle protracted exposure to hot oil, hot air, calcium chloride (road salt), coolants and other automotive chemicals. (DuPont won the 2010 SPE Most Innovative Use of Plastics award for Zytel® PLUS.) Ideal for replacing metal parts in air ducts, lightweight DuPont™ Hytrel® TPC-ET thermoplastic elastomer has the flexibility of rubber, but the strength of plastic. And DuPont™ Kevlar® aramid fiber reinforcement in tires can result in lighter tires and reduced fuel consumption. Kevlar® weighs less than steel, yet it’s five times stronger on an equal weight basis.

As German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once said, "truth is ridiculed, then denied, and then "accepted as having been obvious to everyone from the beginning."
