The supplier maintains Ineos Styrolution’s high-heat materials are known for dimensional stability, rigidity, stiffness, heat resistance, UV resistance and colour fastness.
Existing automotive applications based on Luran HH include roof spoiler winglets, pillar trims and others.
“Research at Ineos Styrolution has led to a new solution with balanced properties allowing processability and providing excellent material properties,” said Ineos Styrolution R&D specialist, global R&D, Tobias Schulz.
“Luran High-Heat is a transparent base material allowing for colour depth including deep-black or ‘piano-black.
“We have done extensive testing with the new Luran HH-120. The results for the new material are significantly better than what we saw for the previous material. Gloss reduction as a result of daily routine is brought to a minimum. Automotive exteriors will benefit from the enhanced material in their daily wear and tear.”
