Concept dashboard showcases how material technologies enable design freedom
Future automotive interior trim parts: material properties are the key to design freedom
INSQIN® technology delivers a soft touch surface with the look and feel of natural leather at a lower cost, but without odor. It also opens up new design possibilities with a range of colors and dynamic transparent and translucent effects. And it does all this while reducing the overall carbon footprint of synthetic material by up to 45%.
