It requires a
pre-mixing step, a long curing phase and an adhesive
to bond to the plastic substrate.

In addition to the lighter weight requirement, the
material and process would need to deliver an ultra-low
cycle time with improved processability and tailored
crystallization dynamics, while also resisting warpage
after molding, a common issue for thin walled plastic
parts.
