High brightness metallic-colored resin injection

-Unlike conventional method that applies metallic painting on injection molded ABS resin, the new method performs injection molding after mixing high-gloss resin with metallic bright material. The new technology delivers high metallic quality comparable to metallic painting.

High brightness metallic-colored resin injection

-Achieved the reduction of painting process, no peeling paint and the elimination of VOC emitting.

Mock-up of full interior trim package

-Headliner used in Nissan “Leaf” -Interior trim used in Nissan “X-Trail” -Replacing the current system with the full interior trim package incorporating the 1.Weight-reduction technology 2. Environmental load reduction technology and 3. Thermal insulation / Energy saving technology will reduce product weight by 30 percent.

Mock-up of full interior trim package

<1. weight="" reduction="" technology=""> Non filler PP foam molding

Nano-composite polypropylene

Lightweight Hi-Papia by thinning wall thickness

Lightweight urethane roof trim

<2. environmental="" load="" reduction="" technology=""> Weldless metallic resin injection (Left: Weldless metallic resin injection technology: Right: Painted sample)

-Pressure molding technology can make high-quality products equivalent to painted products. The solvent-free, environmentally friendly technology reduces product weight and eliminates uneven surfaces. -Used in Nissan "Rogue"
