    Three Challenges of Upgrading Automotive Interiors

    Three Challenges of Upgrading Automotive Interiors

    1.
    VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

    VOCs are volatile organic compounds, which are compounds that endanger human health


    .


    Studies have shown that hundreds of chemicals are mixed in confined spaces inside vehicles, most of which are not monitored effectively, leaving passengers unaware of the dangers they face


    .


    *Ecology Center is a non-profit environmental organization established in the United States in 1970 to address environmental justice, health, waste and community issues


    .


    2.
    Odor (smell)

    Asians are generally more sensitive to odors.
    The odor in the car will cause headaches and nausea in a short period of time, and in severe cases, convulsions, coma, and permanent damage to the body


    .


            "Unpleasant interior odors/odors remain the number one issue in the automotive market,


    " said Brent Gruber, senior director of JDPower's global automotive division, in an interview with the Detroit Free Press
    .


            3.
    NVH (Noise and Vibration)

            Engine vibration is the main source of NVH.
    With the rise of new energy vehicles, electric motors are gradually replacing traditional internal combustion engines


    .


            "Noise control becomes particularly complex when both internal combustion engines and electric motors are used in a hybrid system
    .
    " Dr.
    Bernd Findeisen, Head of IAV's NVH, Mechanics, Dynamics Simulation Division, in "Quiet! NVH Is Becoming More Important" mentioned in the text

    .

            Polyurethane is a very important raw material for automotive roofs and interiors.
    In order to produce safe and reliable high-quality roof interiors, Grupo Antolin compared many leading raw material suppliers in the industry.
    With years of R&D experience, advanced Production processes and technological breakthroughs stand out

    .

            In the process of cooperation, Antolin provided Covestro with an effective trial production environment in an active and open cooperation method, and made timely improvement suggestions for product characteristics during the research and development process, and finally achieved gratifying results
    .
    The polyurethane ceiling solution developed by Covestro uses a new ISO production process and a new generation of polyether systems that reduce pre-mixing processes

    .
    The material has high stability and avoids the problem of large fluctuations in sound absorption performance in different areas of the ceiling

    .
    At the same time, in response to changes in the technical requirements of different models, Covestro can provide a wide range of technical indicators, and can use one set of systems to meet the effects that can only be achieved by traditional two sets of systems

    .
    In addition, using this solution, VOC emissions can be reduced by up to 30-40% compared to the mainstream level in the industry, effectively improving one level

    .

     

     

            Grupo Antolin is one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive interiors.
    Its businesses include Roof and Trunk Interiors, Door Systems and Hard Interiors, Lighting, and Cockpit Systems and Panels

    .
    Among them, the automotive roof business is one of Grupo Antolin's important strategic business units
