Sustainable Solutions for Automotive Interior Trim Applications with “Tecolen® ECO”

eurotec® continues to contribute to the automotive industry's sustainability trends with its “ECO” series of low-carbon-footprint materials. “Tecolen® ECO” products, developed using industrial and post-consumer PP-based waste, are designed to meet the demanding requirements of automotive applications.

Polypropylene (PP)-based materials are among the most preferred for interior and exterior automotive trim applications due to their lightweight nature, availability, and low carbon footprint. PP-based materials, which offer UV and/or weather resistance, high impact strength, scratch resistance, and suitability for aesthetic applications, are pivotal in driving sustainability in automotive components.

The Tecolen® ECO CP52 MF12 BK001 MX M25I product, with 12% mineral filler and 25% recycled industrial packaging and crate waste, has been developed for door panels, instrument panels, and front and center console applications, offering high impact strength and excellent surface quality.

Tecolen® ECO CP52 MF17 BK001 MX M25I, featuring 17% mineral filler and 25% recycled content, delivers an optimal strength-toughness balance. It is specifically designed for deflector components that contribute to vehicle aerodynamics during operation.

eurotec® continues to innovate its Tecolen® ECO product range with various mineral filler ratios, tailoring solutions to meet OEM specifications and part performance expectations based on application requirements.
