KRAIBURG TPE is making significant development in materials for automotive interior design applications by using its AD1/AP series TPE on thumbwheel controls. The series’ soft touch surface properties provide comfortable user experience.

Multifaceted advantages

These TPEs exhibit outstanding adhesion with polar thermoplastics like ABS, PC, and PC/ABS through multi-component injection molding, enabling flexibility in product designs and ensuring enhanced sealing.

In addition, they boast UV resistance, maintaining color stability and overall functionality over time.

TPE material is used on automotive thumbwheel control.

Adhering to regulations

KRAIBURG TPE’s automotive interior TPEs meet stringent industry requirement. They are formulated to resist UV radiation while adhering to interior OEM specification for emissions, fogging and odor control.

Furthermore, the series complies with REACH SVHC and RoHS regulations, ensuring the absence of restricted chemicals or hazardous substances according to European standards.

Committed to sustainability

To demonstrate the company’s commitment to sustainability, TPEs also support in-process recycling which allows manufacturers to recycle excess or leftover material.

These contribute to resource conservation and environmentally responsible production of thumbwheel controls.

Besides AD1/AP series TPE, the company provides a series of material solutions which comprise up to 48% post-consumer recycled (PCR) and 50% post-industrial recycled (PIR) content.
