Reduce Die Build-Up, Improve Surface Finish
They provide lubricity during processing to reduce unwanted die build-up and allow a smooth surface finish.
Prevents melt fracture (sharkskin) for a smoother surface finish

Try balancing sensory factors such as color, feel, and surface finish to grab consumer attention.
In recent years, Tier suppliers have proposed designs featuring colored textiles in locations typically filled with hard polymer surfaces.
The glove box lid, ventilation covers, and even the center console all have been considered as applications that could shift from hard molded polymer to textile surface.

It enables the material surface to repel water or other liquids at room temperature.
Surface Modifier Additives
From anti-fog additives that allow clarity in films to low retention additives that repel water or other liquids, surface modification solutions can help to reduce costs, improve manufacturing efficiencies, and enhance overall product quality and value.
