3M films help create an impactful inside-the-vehicle brand image
3M™ Interior Trim Film - High Gloss Metal Series is a versatile and efficient method for creating the look and feel of metal on interior automotive parts. 3M achieves this authenticity using a metallic textured film technology that incorporates real metals in the film formulation — nearly as close as you can get to real metal, without the added weight and expense. In most cases, it is supplied in custom finishes developed jointly between 3M and the individual OEM design studio. Automotive OEM designers can specify films for a range of high-gloss metals including stainless steel and aluminum. These films can also be easily tuned for gloss and color to meet the most precise design specifications, and to help meet design objectives including model differentiation.
This interior automotive film features excellent tensile strength and deep draw capabilities with an elongation property of 300% at forming temperatures. This makes it suitable for stretching tightly around components for conformability, coverage and protection even across parting lines. The film is applied using Dual Vacuum Thermoforming (DVT), which makes for consistent, precisely conformed texture even across complex geometries.
