Cooperation with Fujichem Sonneborn
Trinseo has been working closely with high-end automakers and OEMs. Fujichem Sonneborn (FCS) has been supplying many high-end automotive OEMs, including OEMs such as Aston Martin and McLaren. In a recent collaboration, Trinseo PULSE TM XT70 PC/ABS is rigorously tested in the FCS single-layer spray system. It proves that the material can be applied to single-layer coatings, and the effect is comparable to traditional three-layer coating. It brings a more beautiful appearance to the car, while saving cost and production time. .
Some applications of PULSETM XT70 PC/ABS on automotive exteriors
Excellent performance of the PULSETM XT70 in the test
During the test, PULSETM XT70 excelled, had good paint adhesion, did not affect durability due to a single layer, did not suffer from stress cracking under the influence of chemicals, and passed a series of OEM-required tests, including Peel test, power wash test, anti-crush test, and manual and natural weathering. In these tests, PULSETM XT70 can reflect the delicate aesthetic effect.
The excellent performance in the test means that the PULSETM XT70 is chosen as the OEM for automotive exterior parts. A single-layer coating system can be considered. This system is cheaper and less time-consuming than traditional three-layer coating systems.

Development expert words
Maurice Laurijs, a development expert at Trinseo, said, 'We think this is a breakthrough in our cooperation with FCS. We believe that the performance of single-layer coating systems will lead other OEMs to also approve PULSETM XT70.'
The aesthetic effect and production efficiency of single-layer spraying will affect the automobile manufacturing and design. This is also the work that Shengyu has been working hard - hope that our research and development can bring the best material solutions for customers.
