Dually Bed Rails

This application utilizes a new molded-in color TPO material in a highly visible truck-bed rails application. The material has excellent scuff and mar resistance, and a low coefficient of linear-thermal expansion (CLTE) value. Innovations allowed the material to replace an engineered thermoplastic ionomer in the existing tools, resulting in a 30% direct materials and process savings.
