Automotive Soft IP Flaw Repair

The perfect match for a smooth manufacturing process. Our Color Match technology seamlessly repairs flaws without disrupting production.

An automotive OEM manufacturer needed to replace their current flaw repair solution due to regulatory issues. They could not produce parts without repairing part flaws, interrupting the manufacturing plant’s production demands. Chem-Pak® helped them to develop three colors to match soft IP for dashboards.

• Developed a customized formulation to meet customer requirements

RESULTS:

Developed a custom Color Match Flaw Repair Coating that met the customer’s spray requirements while exactly matching the color and gloss of the part
