Liftgate & split-gate
The right material for
every layer of the liftgate

Advanced Composites offers a material portfolio for production liftgate and split-gate applications. Our grades are engineered for these components, delivering strength, durability and design flexibility.

From structural inner panels to high-finish outer panels, each material is chosen to reduce weight, improve manufacturability and perform over the long term in demanding automotive environments.

Mosdio™ long-glass polypropylene for inner structural panels
High-modulus TPO for outer panels with a superior surface finish and impact resistance
Weight reduction without giving up strength and durability
Manufacturability for production liftgate and split-gate programs
Long-term performance in demanding automotive environments
Strength
Long-glass polypropylene engineered for the inner structural panels of the liftgate.
Surface finish
High-modulus TPO for outer panels that need a superior finish and impact resistance.
Durability
Materials built for long-term performance in demanding automotive environments.
