Eco-Friendly Interior Decorative Film

DNP offers environmentally friendly propylene (PP) based decorative film for automobile interiors, in a move which is expected to support recycling efforts.

In Europe, revisions to the Draft Regulations on Sustainability Requirements in Vehicle Design and End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) Management are being considered, and the use of recycled plastics in vehicles is expected to become mandatory in the near future. Domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers and companies that handle automobile-related parts are taking steps to respond to this situation.

The environmentally friendly decorative film to be mass-produced by DNP capitalizes on the long standing in-house development of PP film printing and processing technology. The result successfully achieves film comprising a high quality design and ease of handling for insert injection molding process. The PP decorative film produced by DNP is also expected to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

PP is used in large quantities as automobile parts and is suitable for recycling. Further growth is expected in the future, but when 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.

●By providing PP-based decorative films for automobile interiors, we will contribute to automobile recycling.
●PP emits lower GHG during raw material manufacturing than the currently commonly used acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). As a result, it leads to a reduction in GHG emissions for vehicle as a whole.
●By applying and developing DNP's converting or material processing technology, we have achieved an excellent design quality, physical properties, and moldability for PP-based automotive decorative films.
