Electric drives open up new design options for vehicle bodies. With "Plexiglas Hi-Gloss NTA-5", Röhm Molding Compounds is presenting an impact-resistant special molding compound for black, high-gloss applications and at the same time robust components such as radiator grilles, ventilation grilles, decorative panels, mirror housings and pillar panels.
The electric drive will significantly change the appearance of vehicles. Among other things, the grille could be completely eliminated, since electric drives do not need to be as much ventilation as internal combustion engines. This gives designers room to design the front of the vehicle with decorative elements: high-gloss components provide a particularly noble, high-quality look. But materials used in the lower vehicle area must be particularly robust.

Plexiglas Hi-Gloss NTA-5 is the molding compound in the Plexiglas Hi-Gloss range with the highest impact strength. The heat resistance is on a high impact for PMMA molding compounds. In addition, the material is weather-resistant, scratch-resistant and has a high color depth. On the high-gloss Class A surfaces, minor scratches can be polished out.
