Volcanic-Filler

This lightweight, injection-molded PP pillar trim provides the texture and appearance of more costly fabric wrapped trim through use of a unique filler combination consisting of  volcanic rock, fiber pile, and glass spheres replacing talc-filled PP and fabric-wrapped PP  No special tooling was required but process control was important so as not to crush the glass spheres and to distribute the fiber pile evenly during compounding and molding.  A 10% weight and a 50% direct cost savings was achieved.  Other benefits gained from using the volcanic mineral are that it emits negative ions (to reduce pollutants) and far-infrared energy.
