TPO for Hard Seamless PAB Applications

This seamless passenger airbag (PAB) system for hard instrument panels (IPs) delivers superior low-temperature performance and improved aesthetics in a C-car package environment. A steel door is overmolded with TPE, then vibration welded to the B-surface of the IP.  A TPO reaction ring incorporates demister duct geometry. The system is 5 lb / 2.3 kg lighter and $20-25 USD less costly than a comparable system for a soft IP.
