The challenge lay in bringing that aesthetic to the car’s interior, both effectively and affordably.

The new masterbatch package produces a special effect that makes every TPE cork look different, with a unique light brown swirl pattern and random black specs. Developed for the first time by the ColorWorks team, this special effect convincingly mimics the look of natural cork. The new masterbatch package from Avient enables us to enter the wine cork market with a Marfran TPE and foaming agent that complies with the necessary food contact requirements and the visual effect of genuine cork.
