Functional Material Solutions for The Car Interior

Megatrends such as autonomous driving, electrification and personalization mean that in the future, car interiors will no longer be the same as they have been for a long time. Groundbreaking technologies will find their way in there, but so will entirely new design solutions. As a leading plastics supplier and long-standing partner to the automotive industry, Covestro has continued to develop its range of innovative materials and products to support the transition of automotive interiors into the future.

Covestro is presenting the advanced solutions for automotive interiors unveiled at the K 2022 plastics trade show to the advanced solutions for automotive interiors now at this year’s Automotive Interiors Expo in Stuttgart, Germany, November 8-10, 2022. At booth 3312 in Hall 3, the company will showcase a range of smart and sustainable material solutions that keep pace with the latest trends in automotive interior design.

Shaping the driving experience with new technologies

Makrolon Ai polycarbonate offers a special edge-lit composite color that can range from transparent to translucent, providing various options for ambient and dynamic automotive interior lighting. The combination of this material with the lightweight composite Maezio, which offers tremendous design freedom and is made partly from post-industrial recycled materials, allows occupants to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Functional integration through back-injection of polycarbonate

Covestro has developed the first material that is shrinkage-free and highly dimensionally stable, transparent and heat-resistant: Makroblend OM 845G, a polycarbonate blend with 20 percent glass fibers. This material can be back-injected and back-lit to create textured and 3D shapes.

Soft-touch coatings create surprising textures

Covestro offers a versatile range of hard to flexible aqueous 2-component (2K) polyurethane dispersions that allow a high degree of design freedom (from soft to hard). By combining this 2K polyurethane technology with edge-lit and high-tech Makrolon Ai materials, it is possible to create a wide range of innovative textures.

Innovative coatings and adhesives for instrument panels and door trims

Together with designer Miika Heikkinen, Covestro’s Coatings & Adhesives and Engineering Plastics segments have developed a door panel concept with new material solutions. The prototype contains a waterborne coating with innovative Insqin technology in combination with an adhesive based on a Dispercoll U 66 dispersion – two waterborne polyurethane (PU) solutions with low levels of volatile organic components (VOCs). Specially developed to provide cost-effective and sustainable applications for future automotive interior requirements, they provide translucent appearance, coating adhesion and deep color effects in door panels. As a vegan solution, the lower CO2 emissions and reduced energy consumption of Insqin can reduce the overall CO2 footprint of plastics by up to 45 percent while providing virtually odor-free indoor air quality. The carbon footprint can be further improved by using an Impranil CQ DLU PU dispersion, which consists of approximately 35 percent renewable carbon by weight. In addition, the application also includes a partially biobased water-based soft-touch coating with up to 33 percent renewable carbon in the final formulation.

Lighting and heating integrated into the sunroof

Panoramic sunroofs and moonroofs are very popular in modern vehicles. Covestro, in collaboration with Loomia, has developed a roll-up sunroof shade concept that combines the sun-reflecting properties of Platilon TPU film during daylight hours with integrated fabric circuits for lighting and heating at night and in cold weather. To help passengers get the most out of the interior, we bonded the textile surface and electronics layer using our thin and flexible Platilon polyurethane film. It is tough enough to withstand repeated rolling without compromising performance.

Makrolon and Makrofol films for smart surfaces

Covestro and TactoTek have teamed up again to showcase the endless, more sustainable design possibilities of IMSE technology: Together, they developed demonstrators that showcase functional electronics while integrating control surfaces, computers and displays. The final design consists of a Raspberry Pi computer, an OLED display, all necessary circuitry and electronic components, and inks for coloring and decorating – all embedded in a Makrolon resin between two layers of Makrofol film. With this, we are showcasing powerful new material solutions for consumer electronics with a mono-material design where the plastic can be recovered at will and converted into new raw materials.

ELITE 5408G: COF Stable Polyethylene Resin From Dow

ELITE 5408G, the new COF stable Polyethylene resin from Dow is the answer to all your worries. As a global technology leader in polyethylene, Dow is always on the lookout for the next innovation. To address a current unmet need in the flexible packaging industry, we have created the co-efficient of friction (COF) stable resin – ELITE 5408G (1.0g/10min MI; 0.918 g/cm3 density). This resin provides stable COF of lamination films in both PE and PET layers, throughout the entire process of lamination, curing, storage and transportation. It offers higher efficiency on fast speed packaging lines by minimizing film breakages and interruptions. The COF stable resin also features excellent optical and sealing properties.

As shown in Figure below, we have tested it at elevated temperatures for 7 days and at room temperature conditions for upto a year. ELITE 5408G hardly goes through any change in COF compared to conventional metallocene LLDPEs used in PET//PE or other such laminates.

 

 

With ELITE 5408G, you do not have to add any external slip masterbatch to achieve lower COF. ELITE 5408G in the sealant layer is just enough!

This new grade balances seal strength and COF performance, enabling a smoother, faster and more efficient packaging process.

Not to mention, ELITE 5408G has the sealing performance same as Dow’s ELITE polyethylene resin family, a state-of-the-art sealant portfolio, providing impressive optical and sealing properties.

Several of our customers in India have already adopted to this innovative grade in different applications ranging from surface printed milk & edible oil films, laminates and more demanding thermoforming films. Other benefits which our customers in India have got after adopting ELITE 5408G are as below:

  • No dependency on local distributors to stock small quantities of permanent slip masterbatches
  • No powder deposition onto food packed in thermoformed trays by not using external slip masterbatches
  • Can ensure stable COF in export laminates to their customers
  • No change in COF in products which are exposed to high temperatures like UHT milk films or solvent base adhesive laminates
  • Can survive hot summer months in India without any issues on the packaging lines

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry has announced that The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. (JSW) has validated the use of SABIC LLDPE BX202, a linear low-density polyethylene resin specially developed for processing on tenter frame extrusion equipment for biaxially oriented PE (TF-BOPE) packaging film. The value chain collaboration endorses the use of SABIC’s TF-BOPE material on JSW film lines, extends the machine supplier’s footprint into the BOPE film market for flexible packaging, and underscores SABIC’s role as a forerunner in this market segment.

Sami Al-Osaimi, Executive Vice President Petrochemicals at SABIC commented, “There is a growing market trend and demand for mono-material solutions to facilitate the end-of-life recycling of used packaging products while at the same time supporting the efforts of brand owners and packaging manufacturers to down-gauge their applications and meet ambitious reduction targets. The partnership with JSW has confirmed our strong commitment to accelerate the implementation of advanced material and equipment solutions for flexible packaging by working with global value chain partners who share our mindset to reduce, reuse and recycle as we contribute to a circular plastics economy.”

Extensive trials with SABIC LLDPE BX202 resin on a pilot film manufacturing line at JSW’s Extrusion Technology Center in Hiroshima have demonstrated the excellent performance of the material. As a result, this TF-BOPE grade is currently considered the best-in-class to run on existing tenter frame film lines for BOPE as well as on slightly modified equipment for biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). Toshiyuki Ninomiya, Vice Plant Manager, Hiroshima Plant for JSW explained, “After testing SABIC’s LLDPE BX202 material in our Bi-Axial Film Stretching pilot line, we were positively surprised by the performance of it. Its excellent processability combined with good mechanical properties makes this material a great addition to our recommendable materials portfolio for our customers and strengthen our position in the BOPE market. By collaborating with SABIC for use of their overall high-performance TF-BOPE resin on our advanced film extrusion lines, we are actively promoting the broader implementation of more efficient and sustainable, circular ‘mono-materialized’ film solutions designed for recycling.”

SABIC’s LLDPE BX202 material combines outstanding processability with good mechanical and optical properties, including clear transparency and twice the impact strength, puncture resistance, tensile strength and stiffness compared to conventional blown PE film of equal thickness. This means that SABIC’s material offers significant potential for further down-gauging and corresponding reductions in weight, material consumption and carbon emissions. At potential packaging material reductions of up to 50 percent vs. incumbent blown PE film, this also translates into potentially higher line speeds with shorter cooling times, maximizing the productivity of applications.

Furthermore, the mono-PE material enhances the recyclability of final flexible packaging applications at the end of their lifespan without compromising the integrity of the packaged products such as frozen food, fruit and vegetable packaging applications. SABIC’s TF-BOPE polymer is also available in certified circular as well as certified renewable grades from Trucircle portfolio.

BIC LLDPE BX202, a specialized linear low-density polyethylene resin for processing on tenter frame extrusion lines for biaxially oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) packaging film, combines significant down-gauging potential with outstanding optical and mechanical properties. In food packaging applications, for instance, the TF-BOPE grade delivers clear transparency, lower haze and high gloss together with twice the impact strength, puncture resistance, tensile strength and stiffness compared to conventional blown PE film of equal thickness.
