Suzuki's new car uses Mitsubishi Chemical's bio-based plastic to make front grille

Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group (MCHG) announced that its bio-based engineering plastic DURABIO has been used in the production of the front grille of Suzuki Motor Corporation's new model S-CROSS
.

According to reports, DURABIO is made of isosorbide from renewable plant sources and is a bio-based engineering plastic
.
Compared with traditional engineering plastics, it has very good properties, including impact resistance, weather resistance and heat resistance
.

The plastic also has good color rendering, and requires only the addition of colorants to achieve high-gloss, sophisticated designs
.

The front grille of S-CROSS is made of Mitsubishi Chemical bio-based engineering plastics
.

In addition, the plastic does not require painting and coating processes due to its hard and scratch-resistant surface, which reduces VOC emissions during production
.

Suzuki has applied DURABIO to interior parts before.
Due to the high requirements for shock resistance and weather resistance of exterior parts, after many experiments and adjustments, this material was used for Suzuki's exterior parts for the first time
