Airbag covers are typically injection moulded thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The material must be robust enough to withstand daily use, but able to breakaway in a controlled manner when the airbag is deployed.

Reusable cutlery set injection moulded in polypropylene (PP) blended with 15% thermoplastic starch (TPS). The use of TPS reduces the use of virgin polymer.

Cross-section through a reusable foamed cup in polypropylene (PP), manufactured using EcoCore injection moulding technology, that integrates an insulating foam between the two outer skins (MuCell microcellular foam injection). The graphics are applied using a PP in-mould label (IML), which ensures the returnable cup remains recyclable as a monomaterial at the end of its life.

Yonda chair by Neunzig°design studio for Wilkhahn features oak legs and and injection moulded recycled polypropylene (rPP) top with 20% wood filler.

Cross-section of a foam sandwich injection moulding. The white outer is virgin polypropylene (PP) and the black core is foamed recycled PP (rPP). The layers are formed by first injecting the white (the colour has been used to emphasis the technology in this case) and then injecting the black with chemical foaming agent (CO2). The black rPP forms a bubble inside the white, pushing into onto the surface of the mould. In application, the surface layer would be the same colour as the core to create a high quality visual surface. This example is a cross-section through the LimbicLife ergonomic chair seat. The process and tooling were engineering and optimised by Deckerform.
