Mitsubishi Chemical announced that it has extended its collaboration with Audi through the selection of DURABIO for the door switch inserts in the new Audi Q3, which was launched in October 2025.

Audi chooses Mitsubishi Chemical’s DURABIO for its door switch inserts of new Audi Q3.

 

This milestone marks the debut of DURABIO in an Audi interior application. The new door switch panel – crafted from a single DURABIO molded component – offers significant improvements in manufacturing efficiency, design flexibility, and environmental performance.

 

Bio-based material with high resistance that extend durability

 

Developed by Mitsubishi Chemical, DURABIO is a partially bio-based engineering polymer derived from isosorbide. Thanks to the addition of bio-based material, it significantly reduces the consumption of fossil fuel-based materials.

 

The elimination of painting processes minimizes CO₂ emissions, waste, and VOCs. With superior resistance to weathering, impacts, and scratches, DURABIO is ideally suited for high-quality interior applications that demand both aesthetic excellence and durability.

 

Available in three distinct textures and customizable color

 

The switch panel, designed with three distinct textures – shiny high-gloss, grained, and matte – demonstrates DURABIO’s exceptional molding versatility. This capability eliminates the need for multiple components and post-processing steps such as painting, streamlining production and reducing costs.

 

The mold-in-color functionality not only delivers a premium finish, such as the selected piano black, but also supports a broad color range for future customization.

 

The project underscores Mitsubishi Chemical’s commitment to advancing sustainable mobility through material innovation.
