The transport and vehicle industry is constantly changing. Today, vehicle manufacturers are challenged to reduce vehicle weight, lower vehicle emissions, and increase safety. Advanced masterbatches and polymers help manufacturers make a significant contribution to meeting ecological, safety and economic requirements in the industry.
Plastics play such an essential role in modern vehicle interiors. It’s impossible to imagine the interior of modern vehicles without the inclusion of plastics. Our masterbatches are used in dashboards, steering wheels, carpets, loudspeaker grills, door linings, seats, seat belts and airbags. Beyond providing aesthetically pleasing surfaces, plastic affords vehicles improved customisability and weight savings, leading to more economical vehicles.
Vehicle exteriors pose a different challenge to their interiors. Exterior parts must withstand extreme mechanical stresses and large temperature variations while being constantly exposed to the elements. Colouring bumpers, trim and roof boxes from a variety of polymers places very high demands on the masterbatches used. Hubron’s range of Carbon Black Masterbatch has been specifically designed to help offer the ideal mix of properties to meet the high demands of exterior automotive parts.
