ViSpec™ materials are designed to perform under the rugged elements and tough conditions of the construction and agricultural environment.
Specified to deal with ultimate weather conditions - ensuring long lasting colour stability and overall durability following prolonged UV exposure, our materials are tough enough to handle the heavy loads and added demands often placed on vehicles in these environments.
For the interior, we provide high scratch resistant and anti-fog materials available in a wide range of colours, including a range of soft touch materials specifically designed for interior cabin applications.
Key Areas of Application
- Exterior body panels
- Roofs
- Interior cabin trims
- Dashboards
- Durable wheel arch liners & mud guards
