Eco-friendly decorative film for automobile interiors

PP is used in large quantities in automobile parts and is suitable for recycling. Further growth is expected in the future. However, when PP is used as a base for decorative films, challenges have included weak ink adhesion and the difficulty of maintaining the balance between the high-quality design, physical properties and moldability. DNP has overcome these challenges by leveraging the printing technology and know-how it has cultivated over many years to establish a mass-production technology for PP-based automotive decorative films.
