The potential for mass colored plastics application in the automotive industry are above all driven by economic concerns, as painting represents nearly 30 % of a part's price. The advantages of plastic parts include the ability to realize colors, as well as silvered effect. There also are constraints. For instance, it is not as easy to obtain a uniform tint, especially for plastic parts colored with a metallic effect. Without painting, UV stabilization is necessary and has to be carefully considered in order to guarantee customers an attractive and durable appearance. A few examples of automotive applications will be presented such as the development of a nice red and a metallic tint with chrome aspect for body accessories, developed in partnership with PolyOne and BASF.
