PM Eric (Plug Guy) - I'm sure he and his company knows.

AFAIK,

Generically it is a type of polyurathane, commonly used in most late model cars. Porsche may use a specific formula... might be tough to find out exactly the composition though.

The bumper is actually made from PP+EDPM (that's polypropene and ethylene propylene diene monomer).

According to someone at porsche he looked at a bumper and it said: <PP+EPDM P20>

PP could be but EPDM is a sort rubber so I'm not sure about the PP either!

What do you guys think about PP?

To be honest I was more think of PU like you!

[Westcoaster]

How about a hint as to why it's exact composition is important? Are you trying to repair it or prep it for paint?

Richard I didn't saw your answer so It should be correct.

In fact I'm planning some mod and I need an special glue that will be strong enough to attach a piece made of PA6 to the bumper

If someone has an idea...

thx
