An alternative to 'piano black'? Matt-finish smart surfaces

The evolution of automotive interiors into sophisticated and interactive work and leisure spaces is driving the development of smart surfaces – those that have both a decorative and a functional purpose. As never before, there is a desire for smart surfaces that are not only visually attractive and glare-free matt in appearance but also softer to touch, offer more accurate control and are anti-fingerprint. This presentation introduces a new range of matt hardcoated films that offer visually stunning design options for interior designers. It also discusses support for existing film insert molding (FIM) processes.
