In-Mold Coating Slush Process

This is the first in-mold-coating (IMC) - Slush process to produce instrument-panel skins. The process allows surface properties of a slush-molded skin to be decoupled from the substrate properties. By optimizing the surface and the substrate independently, conflicting customer requirements can be met. Cost savings of 30% were realized through the use of a lower cost aromatic TPU grade.
