Automotive

The automotive industry is one of the most significant industrial sectors worldwide. As key engineering materials, plastics have long been indispensable in this field. The companies of the ROWA GROUP place a strong emphasis on the automotive sector in both production and development and offer a wide-ranging portfolio for a wide variety of applications.

Engineering Plastics and Blends

ROMIRA focuses on both the production and development of new, innovative specialty products and offers its customers a wide-ranging portfolio of materials with proven and customized product properties, such as:

  • high impact strength even at lower temperatures
  • low VOC and fogging emission levels
  • high heat resistance
  • good UV resistance
  • special types of materials with a high-gloss or matte finish
  • good scratch resistance
  • antisqueaking modifications
  • high-gloss without painting

for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications. In addition, there are other customer-specific properties that can be achieved through the use of additives, such as antistatic treatment, a special texture, etc.

Polymere Specific Color, Additive and multifunctional masterbatches

ROWA Masterbatch products ensure consistent color quality in various plastic components. This is particularly important in the automotive industry, for example, since UV and thermal stability, as well as lightfastness and weather resistance, play a decisive role in determining the appearance of the product.

  • IR-reflective color masterbatches result in significantly lower surface temperatures when exposed to sunlight, particularly on dark surfaces (dashboard, steering wheel, etc.)
  • consistent color quality when coloring various plastics for interior and exterior applications
  • UV stabilization: light- and weather-resistant color masterbatches

Liquid Colors and Additive Concentrates

As an alternative to masterbatch granulates, our liquid colors and additives also offer outstanding properties for the automotive industry:

  • lightfast
  • temperature-stable
  • high coverage
  • high color brilliance
  • quick color changes

SPECIAL LACQUER SYSTEMS AND TOP COATS

  • ROWAKRYL®: acrylic coatings as primers and topcoats for automotive films, synthetic leather, and cargo area covers
  • ROWATHAL®: PU coating systems for automotive films and synthetic leather
  • ROWAFLON®: fluoropolymer coating systems for automotive films and synthetic leather
  • ROWANYL®: special topcoats for synthetic leather applications using the reverse process

Foaming agents, adhesion promoters and additives

  • TRACEL® – Chemical blowing agents for seals: tactile effects (soft-touch), molded parts with improved surfaces and cavity sealing, material and weight savings through the use of blowing agents to reduce consumption
  • TRAFLAM – Flame-retardant films and molded parts
  • TRAPYLEN® – Adhesion promoters for films and molded parts; adhesion additives for plastic coatings
