Translucent plastics open up many new options for personalizing lighting effects. Automakers, especially in the field of electric vehicles (EVs), are exploring unique lighting effects that open up new design ideas for automotive design engineers. LyondellBasell supplies market-leading automotive manufacturers with a range of translucent polypropylene compounds under the Hifax and Hostacom brands.
LyondellBasell's advanced polymerization and modification technologies enable automotive manufacturers to overcome the challenges often associated with translucent applications. These challenges include premature yellowing, low hardness and limited impact resistance. All of these issues have made traditional materials for translucent applications difficult to use for automotive installations.
