Luran S 778T offers UV and heat resistance, colour fastness and impact strength. The material was selected to give the SEAT Tarraco a face – at reduced number of processing steps and reduced CO₂ emissions.

SEAT, a top automobile manufacturer, was looking for a pre-coloured material to be used in its front grills with a metallic paint effect. Also, the material had to be used with the hot stamping technology. The material of choice needed to reduce CO₂ emissions, solvent usage, energy consumption and processing steps.

INEOS Styrolution’s ASA (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate) grade Luran S 778T meets all these requirements. It is a material of choice for automotive applications like rear view mirrors and front grills. Luran S 778T combines high heat resistance, impact strength, decorative film adhesion and excellent UV performance. Due to its metallic pre-colouring, the expensive painting step is not required, thereby reducing emissions, energy use as well as processing steps.
