Noise Free ABS
Reduce Noise. Elevate Cabin Quality.
Overview
As consumer expectations for vehicle interior quality continue to rise, managing squeak and rattle (S&R) noise has become increasingly important. Components such as switch housings, center consoles, HVAC housings, and ambient lighting modules are subject to repeated contact and friction, which can generate unwanted noise during vehicle operation. To mitigate these issues, manufacturers often rely on additional materials such as nonwoven fabrics or grease.
LG Chem’s NF424 is an ABS material engineered with low-noise friction characteristics, delivering excellent anti-squeak performance without the need for additional noise-suppression materials. This enables automotive manufacturers to reduce costs and simplify assembly processes, while providing consumers with a quieter and more refined cabin experience.
