Automobile

New engines operating at high temperatures and pressure increases the thermal stress to polymer materials used e.g. fuel tubings and sealing materials. New fuels based on RME (bio-fuels) will also introduce chemical stress increasing the risk for long term degradation reducing the service life of polymer items.
