Development Of A Slush Molded TPO Instrument Panel Skin

From Delphi
 

 

Slush molding is a unique processing operation that was developed originally for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) based materials. It has been utilized to produce a variety of automotive interior products, including instrument panel skins, where relatively intricate designs are required. PVC becomes brittle upon aging, while thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) doesn't lose its ductility upon aging.
