A navigation system is a complex combination of sensors, software, multimedia capabilities and connectivity, and a Global Positioning System (GPS)
technology to detect the user’s precise location on an electronic device. These gadgets provide motorists with accurate, real-time navigation information, allowing them to reach their destination faster and safer, making their journey enjoyable, stress-free and time-saving.
An advanced and versatile material such as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which can provide product designers and manufacturers with durability, flexibility and functional design needs, is an ideal and practical choice for navigation equipment application materials .
Other properties of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) such as its durability, chemical and weather resistance, impact resistance, vibration damping, protection from potential shocks and disturbances, etc. In addition, specific TPE
It also has the characteristics of light weight, which can meet the requirements of vehicle manufacturers accordingly.
KRAIBURG TPE, a global manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) products and custom engineered solutions for a wide variety of consumer goods applications, KRAIBURG TPE
The (THERMOLAST® K) series is versatile and well suited for navigational equipment applications such as housings, buttons, handles, seals and shock absorbers.
TPE for seamless aesthetics
Navigation equipment is designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s interior. KRAIBURG TPE’s THERMOLAST® K AD1/AP series of compounds meet the design requirements of vehicles to create a beautiful appearance.
In addition, the TPE series has excellent encapsulation properties for polar thermoplastics such as ABS, PC and PC/ABS, thereby improving the flexibility of product design. These compounds can not only be overmolded, improve surface touch and aesthetics, and provide shock absorption, etc., but also can be easily processed by multi-component injection molding.
Soft touch, non-slip function
The KRAIBURG TPE® THERMOLAST® K-AD1/AP series has flexibility and a soft-touch surface,
The ergonomic design aspect is a key part of it. This will also benefit users.
The smooth surface also helps maintain navigation equipment and allows users to clean dust, fingerprints, smudges and scratches.
In addition, the excellent grip and anti-slip properties of this series of compounds ensure that the device can be securely mounted in the car.
UV resistant, low odor; flame retardant compliant
KRAIBURG TPE’s THERMOLAST® K – AD1/AP series is UV resistant, which ensures that the color remains stable over time.
These compounds also have manageable low emission and odor levels to avoid unpleasant odors when using navigation equipment in confined spaces.
Like other electronic equipment, navigation equipment must comply with relevant safety standards to avoid the possibility of fire. Therefore, THERMOLAST® K – AD1/AP series has passed
UL/HB Listed. This is critical in electronic equipment for safety reasons to ensure compliance with flame retardancy rules and standards.
Additionally, it is REACH SHVC and RoHS compliant, ensuring it does not contain any hazardous chemicals or substances regulated by EU regulations.
Sustainable TPE Solutions
KRAIBURG TPE’s THERMOLAST® K-AD1/AP series can be recycled during production, enabling manufacturers to commit to sustainable technologies and resource conservation in the manufacture of navigation equipment.
TPE Succeeds in Sustainability
In addition to navigation equipment, recent sustainable innovations developed by KRAIBURG TPE
The TPE family includes material solutions designed for automotive, everyday consumer goods, consumer electronics, wearables and industrial applications, containing up to 48% post-consumer recycled content (PCR) and up to 50% post-industrial recycled content
(PIR). Compliant with multiple global standards such as FDA raw material compliance, RoHS and REACH SVHC requirements. KRAIBURG TPE can provide customers with services such as product carbon footprint value.
