Interior seating parts and lower seat trims made of Novodur® and Terblend®

Automotive interior applications, such as door and seating parts and lower seat trims require different characteristics from the material of choice. INEOS Styrolution offers a range of materials to meet all kinds of needs these applications have. Novodur H605 or H801 and Terblend N NM 21-EF are the most suitable options for dark-coloured, low-gloss seat trims. These grades can be matched according to OEMs colour specifications and UV-stability requirements. The brighter colours, such as beige or light gray, may require the use of a more UV-stable material like Terblend S NM-31.
