Polymer vehicle interior delivers ‘wow’ factor, $500,000 in annual savings
After a successful trial, the OEM was convinced it could shift from fabric to a polymer interior using the color and additive concentrates.
Increased efficiency: Because the polymer components were easier to manufacture, the OEM was able to reduce lead times for orders and the cost of carrying excess inventory.

Consider making a switch to internally lubricated polymers.
Beyond improved surface appearance, protection from friction, and reduced wear, these polymers also offer the design freedom and part consolidation potential of thermoplastics.
Not sure if internally lubricated polymers are your answer?

Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design.
Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need.
