Plastics at the performance of metal with UV coatings

More and more, plastics are replacing metal in automotive interiors. At allnex, we have the largest portfolio of UV/EB (EBECRYL®), waterborne UV (UCECOAT®) and dual cure resins for protective coatings, functional coatings, in-mold decoration (IMD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) for automotive interior applications. Our resins allow OEM and their suppliers to meet the tough requirements in terms of in-use performance, productivity, sustainability and versatility of the plastic parts.

  • chemical and mechanical resistance
  • Fast curing/dual cure
  • Flexibility for thermoforming/IMD

Efficiency in a waterborne monocoat

The application of waterborne monocoats substantially reduces solvent emissions in the coating process. Monocoats based on water reducible resins within our MACRYNAL® and SETAQUA® product range may be applied directly on the electrocoat layer, providing a very efficient and cost effective coating process without having to make sacrifices in important properties like appearance, chemical resistance and exterior durability.

  • Layer reduction
  • Excellent appearance
  • Waterbased

Why use a chlorinated polyolefin (CPO) layer?

The use of plastic substrates in bumpers and body panels in cars and commercial vehicles continues to grow in parallel with the neverending demand for increased fuel efficiency. Often, multiple plastics are used on a single vehicle, and coating various different substrates with a single coating is a huge challenge. Some plastics, especially polypropylene, require a flame treatment or a special CPO based primer. Our allnex CPO-modified acrylics allow you to apply a topcoat directly to untreated plastics eliminating a primer layer or a flame treatment application step, thereby reducing coating layer system costs and increasing paint line efficiency.

  • Excellent adhesion
  • Increased efficiency
