Motor racing

Motor racing is nowadays inconceivable without vehicle glazing elements made of plastic.

Polycarbonate is the ideal material here. This material is the benchmark thanks to its low weight and high impact resistance. Kirsch Kunststofftechnik GmbH has specialised in this segment.

Complete realisation of these products takes place on our premises, from processing the initial customer request through to the finished glazing element. A team of racing sport enthusiasts works hand in hand here to produce window elements that are able to withstand extreme conditions. Flexibility is key here as well. This is because there are no high quantities here, but small and individual series with in some case extreme forming requirements, special paint finishes and also naturally high demands with respect to the scratch-proof coating and visual appearance. The large automotive manufacturers often test the series production suitability of special, innovative coatings here. Thanks to its flexibility, Kirsch Kunststofftechnik GmbH is the ideal partner for such development projects.

In motor racing, there are sometimes also individual rules that have to be strictly complied with by these glazing elements. This may be a specific thickness within very narrow tolerances or individual approval requirements, for example. In this case, the racing teams have to rely on our quality so that they are not subsequently disqualified or penalised. The motor racing team at Kirsch Kunststofftechnik are absolute specialists here and offer individual and fast solutions.

Lightweight design is becoming increasingly important in the automotive field. A great deal of development work is taking place here for ecological reasons. We provide assistance here as a competent partner and are very pleased to support this development. Fitting plastic windows instead of glass is now a fully accepted way of saving weight in vehicles. The combination of small quantities, extreme forming requirements, high surface hardness and transparency can be realised directly at Kirsch Kunststofftechnik. As an enthusiastic development partner in the field of lightweight construction, we are pleased to realise any project that we can actively support with our specialist knowledge and production facilities.
