Techniplas has been awarded first place in the “Body Exterior” category by the International Society for Plastics Engineering eV.
The SPE Awards ceremony took place in Bonn on June 28, 2024. Techniplas was able to beat its competitors in the “Body Exterior” category with an exterior application “3K wheel arch liner” using ColorFuse technology.
The prize was awarded to a wheel arch liner in a one-piece structure with a high-gloss black coating made from a PUA paint system from the manufacturer Panadur GmbH on the front of the application. A soft TPE component was also injected onto the rear of the part using a multi-component injection molding process to form the contact surface with the bodywork. This resulted in a “Class A surface” and at the same time functional integration by reducing the production processes.
The application is produced on a “Spinform” injection molding machine from the system manufacturer KraussMaffei Technologies
