How are Bumpers Repaired?
By melting many small plastic pellets, thermoplastics are created and injected into a plastic mold that forms the vehicle’s bumper. The bumper is then released from the mold after the mold is cooled, which results in a freshly manufactured bumper. Most plastic bumper covers tend to be thermoplastic since thermoplastics are so flexible and it is easy to reuse and recycle, and cost-effective. The bumpers derived of semi-rigid, or thermoset plastics, are developed from semi-rigid, or thermoset where the crosslinking is permanent with both molds by injecting two different polymer materials together. Though it does require formal training to properly repair, the semi-rigid, or thermoset plastic bumper are typically more durable.
