PolyOne Corporation presented its specialty portfolio for automotive interiors to designers and engineers at the 2014 WardsAuto Interiors conference, which was held on May 21 in Dearborn, Michigan, the US.

Recently, PolyOne introduced the Geon VBX vinyl powder formulations that offer greater design freedom and efficient production of soft-touch surfaces. As said, these new materials meet or exceed OEM airbag safety requirements for instrument panels and provide up to 15% faster cycle times and 35% lower scrap rates, when compared to standard materials.

Other PolyOne products presented at the conference include:

Paint-free metallic finish: OnColor FX Metal colorants – providing visually appealing metallic finishes without the need for a secondary painting process;

Marking alternative: OnColor FastMark additives – enabling parts such as signal stalks and trunk/hood release handles to be permanently laser etched with images, symbols and words;

Premium surfaces: OnColor FX Granite colorants – creating a premium fabric look on surfaces that utilize molded-in texture.
