| Prime Tuff-X STF consists of a Thermoplastic elastomer skin laminated to closed-cell, cross-linked polyolefin foam that is then laminated to our Tuff-X rigid substrate. Low gloss and soft feel eliminate the need for soft-touch paint. (<5% after forming) It also helps eliminate the squeak and rattle that is characteristic of Styrenics. Recycling of unpainted scrap is possible with no loss of properties. Applications: Tuff-X STF is ideal for interior and exterior components, including center consoles, instrument panels, door panels, and many others. This addresses the customers’ desire for a low-gloss, soft feel material to soften interior and exterior applications in markets such as agricultural equipment, marine, heavy trucks, RV cabs, and others, while utilizing a thermoplastic, recyclable material.
