What are car seats made of?
Steel | |
| Steel is an alloy made by adding carbon to iron. It is used because of its strength, which is provided by the elements of the alloy. The frames of car rulers are made of steel, as strength is needed to support the weight of the user. | |
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) | |
| Polyvinyl chloride (also known as PVC) is a thermoplastic composed of 57% chlorine and 43% carbon. PVC is often used for car bodywork because it is abrasion resistant, lightweight, and has the required mechanical strength and toughness. |
polypropylene | |
 | Some car walkers have molded polypropylene shells. It is often used because it is strong, flexible and resistant to common solvents, oils and gases found in automotive maintenance. |
powder coating | |
 | Powder coating is applied as a dry coat, which provides a thicker coating than liquid coatings such as paint. Some automotive creepers have a powder coated frame to resist rust, scratches, and chips. |
Vinyl | |
 | Vinyl is a plastic made from polyvinyl chloride. It is used for the back seat and headrest as it is oil resistant so any dirt can be removed effectively. |
