The need for automotive interior molded-in-color (MIC) low gloss, rigid plastic components with good scratch and mar resistance is well known. Typical interior product gloss targets of automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) now range from 1.5 - 2.5 units for sixty degree Gardner gloss. Interior scratch objectives require a scratch width of less then four tenths of a millimeter with slight whitening when a 15 Newton load is applied via a one millimeter hemispherical tip. Strength and rigidity requirements now range from 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm max deflection on high touch interior areas when subjected to an arm or finger loading. Recent advancements in the field of Acrylonitrile- Butadiene-Styrene + Polyamide (ABS+PA) blends by BASF Corporation have allowed for such a copolymer that with the proper design and tooling considerations allows one to meet these specifications.
