Lower weight
Increased fuel efficiency. Reduces shipping and handling costs.
Recyclable
Factory trim can be recovered and reused. Parts can be recycled at the end of product's useful life. Reduces landfill.
Higher tensile strength
Provides greater longevity. Less likely to dent or bow. Reduces liability exposure.
Higher impact strength
Produces safer products. Less likely to shatter on impact. Meets all SAE side force impact standards.
Greater durability
Eliminates rust and corrosion.
Dimensional stability
Produces parts that are less likely to warp or creep under extreme temperature conditions.
Cost Competitive
In-mold bonding of cover stocks and fasteners, without the use of secondary adhesives, results in shorter cycle times while delivering higher performance specifications.
Rapid part times
Increases throughput, lowers manufacturing costs.
Acoustic alternatives
Is an acoustic absorber and/or barrier. Reduces vibration. Decreases noise levels.
Superior 3D molding
Increases design flexibility.
Greater versatility
Provides the ability to engineer products to customer specifications in a wide range of applications.
Lower VOC emissions
Will not off-gas formaldehyde, benzene or styrene. Provides safer workplaces and living environments.
First in Class, Look, and Feel
FlexForm panels have a luxurious look and feel despite being less expensive to produce, especially when bonded with a high grade cover stock in the one-step process.
