It supplies molded parts and subassemblies to Audi AG, one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers. While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material. According to project manager Steffen Burdorf, the chosen elastomer helped his team at Jäger deliver results on several fronts: appearance and quality improvements; productivity enhancements and manufacturing cost reductions; and added product longevity due to UV stabilization.

While manual dusting is effective, busy manufacturers and dealerships rarely have the time. Between manufacture, shipping, installation and time at the dealership, it is nearly impossible to keep every car looking new. To avoid these issues, manufacturers can use masterbatch additives that allow each component’s antistatic properties to be tailored based on the antistatic performance needed.

Additionally, each manufacturing process has unique attributes in terms of the speed of the process and demands placed on the material during processing. The high-speed manufacture of thin-wall wire jacketing would require a distinctly different formulation compared to the extrusion of a large cross-section stock shape such as a rod. Fluoropolymers can use a wide range of colors that can be matched to a standard reference color (for example, RAL or Pantone®) or custom matched to a manufactured part.

By utilizing an optimized concentrate formulation and employing a one-in-one manufacturing and dyeing process, it becomes feasible to attain the desired level of jetness without the need for multiple passes typically required in alternative dyeing methods, such as bath-dyeing. In this video, you can learn more about the manufacturing differences between spin-dyeing and bath-dyeing.   Spin-dyeing is a one-in-one manufacturing and dyeing process; it reduces the energy needed compared to traditional bath-dyeing, which includes several steps from the production of the yarn to its dyeing.
