Technical Bumper plastic material

Standard bumper material

Does anyone know the plastic material is used for the standard Panda painted bumpers?

pattern parts will be some sort of ABS. Most manufactures use PP but it should have PP, PPO or TPE
stamped next to the part number

It should be marked on the inner face. Presumably you are trying to select the correct primer for a repair.

Perhaps typecastboy might be able to tell us what the 500s are, as he's the most likely to have the jnner face available to him.

If not, needs someone who right now has theirs off the car.

Had another thought, eLearn states polypropylene, hopefully not changed after eLearn was published.

 

[typecastboy]

I certainly do have one. Stand by I'll go and have a look

It says PP TD10

Thanks PP is polypropylene. It needs special adhesive promoters primers etc.

Google says PP TD10 has some talc filler. I guess TD 20 has more talc filler.

This will sort it http://www.kapci.com/Portals/0/KAPCI%20Coatings/KapciNew/TDSMSDS/Car/Kapci%20615CN%20Adplast%20Plastic%20Primer.pdf

I have used a standard bumper on the 100HP that I got free because it was damaged. It was already painted so it was just a case of repairs and new paint. It's cleaned up ok, but really needs replacing. New bare mouldings are only £60.
