摘要:
An automotive vehicle molding for enhancing the appearance of a vehicle includes a thermoplastic elastomer main body and an ionomeric show surface. A plastic or metal core member can be embedded in the main body to provide additional stiffness and support. The ionomeric show surface is extruded onto a belt line seal portion or other visible section of the molding. The ionomeric show surface provides a tough, scratch resistant exterior that can easily be colored provided with a glossy surface to improve the aesthetics of the molding and more closely match its appearance with the painted exterior of the vehicle.
