Dashboard and interior soft panels in a single stepThe “Total Dashboard” concept.Traditionally, the production of soft panels involves the separate moulding of the single components (rigid carrier,soft top layer or skin) and their subsequent assembly.With the “Total Dashboard Concept” SO.F.TER. aims to offer new solutions for the production of bi-material panelsin a single step: both Dolphin and SmarTouch 2K, the two systems dedicated to this application, allow to achievesignificant benefits by simplifying the logistic and manufacturing cycle.The panels obtained by these technologies are totally recyclable, thanks to the chemical affinity of the materials usedfor the rigid and soft part, thus allowing for the recovery of production scraps and end-of-life parts.The granulate resulting from grinding has a good stiffness, high dimensional stability, excellent shock resistanceat low temperatures, and can be reused in various applications. 23 dashboard

DOLPHINProduction of automotive soft-skin panels in a single phaseDolphin is an innovative technology that enables the production of soft-touch dashboard and interior panelsin a single phase. The production of the three-layer structure takes place in a single moulding cell:1. injection of the rigid structural carrier in Reblend® (PC/ABS alloy)2. injection and foaming of the intermediate structural layer (MuCell® foamed Pibiflex®)3. injection of upper soft-touch layer in Pibiflex®BENEFITS Pibiflex® 3567 S2 meets the requirements APPLICATIONS of the following automotive norms: dashboard Leaner logistics and production cycle door panels Cost reduction material properties DBL 5562.50 armrest Full recyclability of the entire item, in compliance climate resistance test with EU Directive 2000/53/EC – ELV (alternating climates) DBL 5471 BI-MATERIAL (End of Life Vehicles) constant climate (dry hot) DBL 5471 Soft skin and foam: constant climate (wet hot) DBL 5471 Pibiflex® 3567S2The soft-touch skin is made with Pibiflex® 3567 S2 colour change after climate storage DBL 5471 copolyester thermoplastica grade specifically developed for this application solar simulation DBL 5471 elastomer with improvedwhich guarantees: abrasion resistance DIN EN ISO 105-X12 foamability, excellent scratch scratch resistance DBL 5471 and UV resistance, very high UV and scratch resistance emission analysis VOC DBL 8585 – VDA 278 Carrier: combined with excellent haptic properties emission analysis FOG DBL 8585 – VDA 278 Reblend® 5510 M4 odour test DBL 5471 – VDA 270 PC/ABS alloy, 20% talc filled, preservation of properties (haptic and softness) fogging test DBL 5471 – DIN 75 201 with good flowability even at very low temperature and high dimensional stability excellent aesthetic properties in various colours 24 high chemical affinity with the gas used in the MuCell® foaming process high chemical affinity with the structural carrier made in PC/ABSThe high chemical affinity of the materials usedensures a perfect adhesion between rigid and soft part,as confirmed by specific tests.

SMARTOUCH 2KBi-material TPE/PP system for soft-touch dashboard and interior panelsSMARTOUCH 2K is a new TPE/PP system for the production of soft-touch dashboard and interior panels by meansof co-injection moulding. The strength of this system stands in its simplicity and cost effectiveness.Suitable for A-B-C segment vehicles,it consists of a soft-touch surface layer with excellent haptic and aesthetic properties, overmoulded on a reinforcedpolypropylene carrier with high dimensional stability. The entire system can be very easily mouldedon traditional presses for bi-injection (2K).SMARTOUCH 2K offers the automotive industry a competitive and multi-beneficial alternative to foil (TPO, PVC)and rigid (PP, ABS) dashboard systems and helps car manufacturers achieve the goals of sustainabilitycontained in European Directive 2000/53/EC-ELV (End of Life Vehicles).BENEFITS Production Process APPLICATIONSRecycling Excellent moulding properties, dashboard can be used on existing 2K equipment passenger airbag cover The complete panel is 100% recyclable: door panels can be grinded and produces new high-quality Automotive norms compliance central console reusable raw material Test performed by independent laboratories have proved BI-MATERIALTechnical properties that Smartouch 2K meets the requirements of the automotive industry (ageing, fogging, VOCs emission) Soft touch layer: Good ageing resistance TPE compound co-injected Excellent fogging values Safety directly on the carrier Excellent temperature performance (ranging from -40°C to 120°C) Does not contain heavy metals, phtalates, PAH Carrier: Good abrasion and scratch resistance or other hazardous substances, according Polifor® L20 GFT/30 H to international regulations reinforced polypropylene (PP)Design properties compound with high Purchasing benefits dimensional stability Valuable aesthetical and haptical properties Suitable for A-B-C segment vehicles Economies of scale in purchasing (soft+rigid part) Suitable for all applications in which Competitive price /quality ratio a good perceived quality is required Customization Possibility to customize the properties and features of soft and rigid layer, ranging from economical to medium segment (hardness, color, softness, strength) 26
