Automotive PP interior materials, i.e. polypropylene interior materials, are widely used in automotive interiors due to their properties such as light weight, high crystallinity, easy processing, corrosion resistance, good impact strength and electrical insulation. These materials are usually modified by toughening, filling, reinforcing, blending and other modification methods to obtain different properties to meet the diversified needs of automotive interior parts.

polypropylene interior materials are widely used in the manufacture of centre console, door panels, dashboards, armrests, carpets, door handles, trim strips and other parts of automobiles. These parts require not only a good appearance, but also sufficient strength and stiffness to withstand certain impact loads.

With the increasing requirements for lightweight, environmental protection and comfort in automobiles, trends in PP interior materials include:

Low odour: development of low odour interior plastics to improve air quality inside the car.

Light aging resistance: Improve the light aging resistance of materials to maintain their colour and performance.

Anti-static properties: Reduce static electricity build-up and avoid dust adsorption.

Anti-adhesion performance: prevent materials from sticking in atmospheric exposure and maintain surface gloss.

The poor scratch resistance of polypropylene is a key issue to be addressed in automotive interior applications. Improvements in scratch resistance can be achieved by adding lubricants, elastomers, fillers and coupling agents. For example, the addition of silicone additives can improve the scratch resistance of the material while maintaining low VOC emissions and improving interior air quality.

SILIKE Anti-scratch masterbatch, Scratch-resistant solutions for automotive PP interior materials

SILIKE Anti-scratch masterbatch has an enhanced compatibility with the Polypropylene (CO-PP/HO-PP ) matrix — Resulting in lower phase segregation of the final surface, which means it stays on the surface of the final plastics without any migration or exudation , reducing fogging , VOCS or Odors . Helps improve long-lasting anti-scratch properties of automotive interiors , by offering improvements in many aspects like Quality, Aging , Hand feel, Reduced dust buildup… etc. Suitable for variety of Automotive interior surface , such as : Door panels, Dashboards, Center Consoles, instrument panels…

Such as SILIKE silicone additive Anti-scratch masterbatch LYSI-306H, Compare to conventional lower molecular weight Silicone / Siloxane additives, Amide or other type scratch additives, SILIKE Anti-scratch Masterbatch LYSI-306H is expected to give a much better scratch resistance, meet PV3952 & GMW14688 standards.

In summary, PP interior materials play an important role in the field of automotive interiors due to their excellent performance and cost-effectiveness. Through continuous material modification and technological innovation, the application range and performance of PP interior materials will be further expanded and enhanced.
