The Tekron LM 4300 series has successfully completed molding and mar-resistance trials specified by DaimlerChrysler, GM/Saturn, and Honda. Because these compounds provide the same resistance to marring and scratching as conventional soft-touch paints for vehicle interiors, they save OEMS between $1-2 per airbag cover.
