The Challenge
Challenge Chroma to demonstrate how our commitment to EXCELLENCE IN COLOR can make a meaningful contribution to the success of your business.
Products were formulated to meet or exceed the specific automotive glow standard for trunk levers. With the new class of light stable (will not fade) glow in the dark pigments that glow longer and brighter, and some with quicker activating times, the possibilities are endless. These new pigments glow brighter and longer than their counterparts. Other possible applications would include; buttons and knobs, key ignition surrounds, egress lighting, oil dip sticks, safety handles and seat belt ejection buttons, cup holders, door knobs, interior switches, and key pad buttons.
NOTE: The addition of pigments may reduce physical properties. Chroma continues to evaluate the low temperature impact strength of these materials. As with any materials Chroma recommends they be tested in the final part to verify the approval of the end use application.
