Surface treatment
Designed as an alternative for soft touch
paint on ABS, TPO and polycarbonate components, Soft-Touch
formable thermoplastic sheet provides a soft, leather-like
feel for automotive interior trim components. Applied during
the extrusion process, the laminate film adheres well to
low-cost and recyclable TPO materials for interior
injection-molded components. Available in a thin sheet of less
than 30 mil thickness for thermoforming and injection molding
applications, the film is also available in a rigid sheet
greater than 30 mil thickness for use in injection clad
processes. It can also be pressure-formed and twin-sheeted
with standard practices. The film strongly resists chipping,
flaking, marring and scuffing, and demonstrates high color
retention under severe UV exposure. Avery Dennison,
Troy, MI. Free info—Circle 246. www.RSLeads.com/?111df-246
Composite coating. Offering a Rockwell
hardness rating in the high 80’s—±25% harder than hard

Conformal coating. Requiring no solvent
for maximum performance, the ambient moisture-cured 1C49LV
silicon conformal coating for PC assemblies raises no VOC
concerns. Its low viscosity enables it to coat hard-to-reach
areas. The coating withstands high heat in corrosive, humid
environments, suiting it for under-hood automobile
applications. Chemical strippers are available for easy
removal. HumiSeal Division Chase Corp, Woodside, NY. Free

Metal coating. Blending thermosetting
powder coating with polytetrafluoroethylene, Epflor reduces
the coefficient of friction by over 1/3 compared to pure
epoxy, and has an increased resistance to corrosion or
abrasion. The coating can be applied with standard
electrostatic spray equipment and is typically applied at an
average thickness of 2-4 mils. Standard and custom colors are
available. Continental Industries Inc, Tualatin, OR. Free
