Injection molded soft skin (IMSS) materials are a revolution in the automotive industry. Dawn polymer's IMSS material is a thermoplastic elastomer that can be injection molded into automotive interior skins. This material boasts high wear resistance and durability, thanks to its special high flow SEBS as the base material.
One major advantage of the IMSS material is its high melt flow rate, allowing for a shorter molding cycle and cost savings. Manufacturers can also benefit from the freedom to spray the material, making the process more efficient.
This material also maintains good flexibility at low temperatures, enabling it to be used for skins on a variety of vehicle interior components. It can be used for everything from the dashboard and door panels to the trim panel skin and center console skin.
Compared with the traditional PVC slush skin material, this kind of IMSS material has the following characteristics:
1. High melt flow rate (200 MFR);
2. The lowest density among the existing main skin material;
3. Higher wear resistance and durability;
4. Little anisotropy in physical properties;
5. Good flexibilty at low temperature, brittle tough transition temperature as low as -40℃;
6. No cross-linking, no phthalate plasticizer;
7. Ultra-low oil-filled or non-oil-filled, matte, no obvious weld marks, high-grade textured surface
Dawn polymer's IMSS material is an exceptional choice, providing a versatile, high-quality solution for automotive interior skins. With durability and cost-effectiveness at the forefront of the automotive industry, IMSS material is shaping the future of automotive manufacturing.
