KURZ PLASTIC SURFACES

Driving e-mobility

These examples demonstrate the great potential of plastic surfaces. Their high-quality aesthetic positively impacts the profile and future development of the brand image. Not only do they make cars more attractive, but also do they contribute to quality, particularly on the car exterior, by providing a new level of surface durability. For example, criteria such as scratch resistance, UV resistance, and corrosion protection are satisfied to meet the highest standards. And finally, plastic also has the ability to unlock innovative functions for the driver via sensor integration. This is how we pave the way for you to create vehicle features that surprise and inspire customers and cultivate their loyalty to the brand. For example, front panels that indicate the planned braking process.
