In order to reduce the weight of cars and to enhance fuel efficiency, automotive designers started in the late 1950’s/early 1960’s to introduce applications based on plastics. Today, plastics make up about 50 percent of the volume of a car – and less than 10 percent of its weight.
Plastics can be found in a wide range of interior and exterior automotive applications today and it is fair to say that plastics contributes significantly to keeping us mobile, while at the same time the miles per gallon equivalent increases and the CO2 emission per mile decreases.
INEOS Styrolution has been dedicated to the automotive industry for a very long time by contributing innovative styrenic speciality solutions to automotive OEMs. These styrenic solutions are dedicated to exterior and interior applications, two-wheelers and trucks & agriculture vehicles.
Interior applications are particularly demanding since they require materials offering structural stability as well as surface quality and low emission. Typical applications include instrument panel components, centre consoles, roof consoles and interior trim. With Luran® SC (ASA/ PC), Novodur® (ABS and ABS/PC), Terblend® N (ABS/PA) and Lustran® HH (ABS), the company offers a broad range of materials that are commonly used for interior automotive applications
