...een making for the MCC Smart since April 2002. The panels consist of two, black high-gloss parts that are adjacent to a sliding glass roof and, like it, have glass optics featuring extremely low surface waviness. The film is a coextruded Senotop film from the company Senoplast (1.3mm overall thickness; PMMA on ASA/PC). The Authors Dr.-Ing. Achim Grefenstein, born in 1965, is project manager responsible for in-mould film lamination technology/PFM system in the Marketing Specialty Polymers Divi...

...To save the costs of the coating and also be able to use fibre reinforced thermoplastics for this application, a new material concept (PFM System, Manufacturer: BASF) has been developed in the last few years [4]. It uses a coextruded film (e. g. the Senotop in-mould film) of acrylic coated acrylonitrile styrene acrylester copolymer (ASA; Luran S, Manufacturer: BASF) and a suitable back-moulding material based on styrene copolymers or their blends [1, 2]. For a service temperature range of betwee...

...nault Laguna and roof strips for Audi, VW, Nissan and Volvo. At present, no applications are known for horizontal parts that use films from Avery Dennison or Soliant. This might well be due to inadequate heat resistance. Senoplast: To go with the Senotop brand coextrudates, Senoplast Klepsch & Co GmbH & Co KG of Piesendorf/Austria has developed, specifically for the coating technique, a range of films based on polycarbonate (PC) with two outer layers of (PC + ABS) blend. The back layer is intend...

.... The protective film is not removed until processing is completed.Production-Accompanying Quality InspectionA special production-accompanying quality inspection was developed by Senco (Europe) for the film with formable hard coat (product name: Senotop CM62HC). Within 5 minutes, an acetone test indicates whether the coating is sufficiently hardened (Fig. 2).During development on Fehrer Automotive’s thermoforming line, it turned out that the type of UV lamp used for warming the film has a decis...

...Parat also manufactures body panels for commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery, as well as engine covers for construction machinery. A good example is a truck front panel or radiator grill produced from co-extruded Senotop plastic film (ABS/PC with PMMA) in glossy piano black. For tractor hoods, heat and chemical resistance are very important in addition to high surface quality. For such parts close to the engine heat-resistant sheets from Senoplast are reinforced by Parat with a glass f...
