There are many choices of materials for car dashboards, and each material has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, suitable for different usage scenarios and needs.
Common materials and their advantages and disadvantages: Plastic PC material: low molding shrinkage, good dimensional stability, good fatigue resistance and heat resistance, suitable for a variety of application scenarios. Solid wood material: elegant appearance, but expensive and easy to damage. Soft plastic material: has certain flexibility and wear resistance. Metal plate material: such as aluminum alloy, exquisite appearance but high price. Wood leather material: good feel, improve grade, but difficult to clean and maintain. Hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC): low cost, but poor UV resistance. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU): resistant to UV and exposure, but will decompose in high humidity environment. Modified PP material: good fluidity, good weather resistance, high impact resistance, low product shrinkage. PC/ABS alloy material: excellent performance, moderate price, good processing fluidity, low temperature resistance. Acrylic material: high transparency, strong rigidity, high temperature and UV radiation resistance. The impact of materials on durability and safety.
Plastic PC material: has good fatigue resistance and heat resistance, and can remain stable under various driving conditions. Solid wood and leather material: Although elegant in appearance, it is easy to damage and difficult to clean and maintain. Metal plate material: exquisite in appearance, but high in cost. TPU and PVC material: TPU is slightly better than PVC in aging performance, but PVC has better tensile strength and emission performance. Modified PP material: good fluidity, good weather resistance, high impact resistance, meeting low VOC and low odor requirements. Acrylic material: has high transparency, strong rigidity, high temperature and UV radiation resistance, and does not splash when broken, ensuring personnel safety.
Application examples of different models. New energy vehicles: The dashboard is usually made of acrylic material, which has the characteristics of high transparency, strong rigidity, high temperature and UV radiation resistance.
Qin Pro and 2018 BMW 5 Series: Made of plastic, they have high strength, good rigidity and toughness, good overall stability, and can protect the equipment inside the vehicle. Motorcycle: The instrument panel usually uses PC/ASA plastic material, which has good UV resistance and high temperature creep resistance.
