A. Schulman, Inc. recently received the 2009 Society of Plastics Engineers Central Europe Division's award in the automotive body exterior category for its innovative technology solution used in the Mercedes-Benz CLS radiator grill. The award-winning product involves injection molding of silver pigmented nylon 66 compound SCHULAMID® 66 MT 5 HI which allows weld lines to be hidden by innovative stealth technology in the tool.
The award-bagging solution was developed in close cooperation with Daimler and Montaplast, a German-based maker of precision parts and systems for the automobile industry. A. Schulman's colored plastic material used in the grill manufacturing process provides excellent UV stability and eliminates the need for painting on a part that is subject to a high amount of impacts from stones and other debris on the road.
