Aurora Plastics provides a variety of formulations that supply automotive OEM and aftermarket customers, including rigid and flexible PVC, TPO, TPE, SBS and SEBS compounds.

SBS and SEBS compounds utilize multiple TPE chemistries to impart high-performance properties for durability and easy processing. They range from clears to low gloss black glass reveals for roof ditch and under hood applications. There are hundreds of metallic body match color approvals, and all of these compounds are offered in both molding and extrusion grades.

For automotive exterior trim, we have a full color development program with more than 100 base compound and color approvals for:

• GM-GMT900, GMT800 & GMT201
• Daimler-Chrysler-DR, HB, ND, RS, BR, BE & PT44
• Ford Motor CO C170

We also offer AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC options for a variety of automotive aftermarket applications. Unlike rigid PVC, flexible PVC compounds utilize multiple TPE/TPR chemistries to impart high-performance properties for durability and easy processing. TPE options are available as low as 10A* up to 50D durometer hardness. Some of our TPEs are offered in clear, as well as oil free grades.

Our compounds are developed by a professional R&D staff with many years of experience in the automotive field. We will work with you to determine the formulation that best meets your needs.

* NOTE: Durometer hardness is measured with a calibrated durometer using the Shore Type-A scale in a room of consistent temperature. The indenter is inserted for 15 seconds to determine if it passes the ASTM D2240-Durometer Hardness test for the desired durometer.
