Low-Gloss Soft Feel Resin

A new low-gloss, soft-touch TPO resin was developed for these applications, offering improved aesthetics, better haptics, and greater durability.  Previously, to achieve this combination of properties, more costly wrapping or painting the substrate was required. The new applications, the first in North America, led to cost reductions of $4 USD/part vs. painted substrates and $5 USD/part for wrapped substrates.
