ONESTEP® VINYL/ABS
SIMONA PMC’s OneStep® Vinyl/ABS products offer a textured, leather-like appearance and a refined feel. While maintaining dependable performance for forming applications, it retains the durability and rigidity to withstand wear and tear. A vinyl foam composite is laminated over ABS to create a piece that mimics hand-wrapped parts and is near impervious to scratches and marring. By adding vinyl, the regrind cannot be reused and the depth of draw is slightly decreased.
