BISSOTO, Isaias  e  SYDENSTRICKER, Thais H.. Substitution of polyphthalamide (PPA) used in the fuel tank cap lid of a car by other polymers. Polímeros [online]. 2006, vol.16, n.3, pp.217-233. ISSN 1678-5169.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0104-14282006000300011.

In this study, we evaluated the possible replacement of polyphthalamide (PPA) at the fuel tank cap lid of a car by other polymers. Various materials selectors available in the Internet were used to identify possible substitute materials to PPA. This material is a high-performance, high-cost, difficult-to-process polymer, which is not produced in Brazil. Despite its applicability to automotive parts due to its outstanding properties, its substitution by other polymers would imply in a series of advantages for the process of parts production. After the selectors' usage, a series of enhancements to these sites were suggested in order to make it possible to create a better layout of a materials selector for a future implementation. This study's final evaluation compares the final results obtained from the selectors with those from the local polymer suppliers.
