In addition, these properties enable new interior design trends through the use of bright colors on demanding surfaces.Benova Eco Protect also offers a weight advantage of about 20% and is free of materials of animal origin. In addition, the resource-conserving and energy-efficient production process makes a positive contribution to the eco-balance of the entire vehicle. For example, no solvents are evaporated during the drying process, eliminating the need for after-treatment of exhaust gases. Benova Eco Protect has a thickness of 0.9 mm to 4.3 mm, its material backing consists of textile, polyurethane foam, sandwich foam or spacer fabric.
