Definition
A manufacturing process for plastic where the colour is integrated into the material during production, rather than being applied as a surface coating. This is claimed to make scratches less noticeable.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
The Duster uses this type of plastic for its exterior cladding, advertised as being more resistant to showing scratches, though the reviewer found this claim to be untrue.
Key properties or components
- Colour integrated into material
- Claimed scratch resistance
- Durable finish (claimed)
Contradictions or debates
The reviewer tested the claim that ‘dyed in form’ plastic doesn’t show scratches easily by scratching it with a nail and found that it did indeed scratch and the marks did not come off.
