Transportation - Move More Than People

    Transportation surfaces must combine durability, design, and manufacturing efficiency across a wide variety of demanding applications. AkzoNobel films help manufacturers create premium interior and exterior finishes for commercial and recreational vehicles while reducing complexity compared with traditional finishing methods.

    AkzoNobel films are used extensively throughout the commercial vehicle industry in applications such as bumpers, grilles, and sun visors. Our bright chrome appearance film delivers the rich look of chromed metal while enabling the weight reduction advantages of plastic, helping manufacturers achieve premium styling with improved efficiency and flexibility.


    Beyond commercial vehicles, AkzoNobel films are widely used in buses, metro systems, recreational vehicles, ATVs, and personal watercraft for both interior and exterior applications. These advanced film solutions provide durable, high-quality surfaces that withstand demanding environmental conditions while enabling greater design freedom across transportation platforms.


    For larger components, thick sheet thermoforming with AkzoNobel film provides an attractive alternative to injection molding, delivering significant tooling cost savings while enabling the production of large-format decorative parts with consistent appearance and performance.


    Designed for modern transportation manufacturing, AkzoNobel films offer:

    • Premium painted and chrome-like appearances
    • Weight reduction through plastic substrate compatibility
    • Durable surfaces for interior and exterior applications
    • Greater design flexibility across complex part geometries
    • Improved manufacturing efficiency and consistency
    • Cost-saving alternatives for large-format components


    From public transportation to recreational mobility, AkzoNobel films help manufacturers create distinctive transportation experiences with proven durability, premium aesthetics, and scalable production performance.
