Johns Manville has unveiled the latest MultistarTM 277, an A-level surface to be used for automotive exterior body panels, as well.

“MultistarTM 277 was launched after the new multi-purpose product MultistarTM 267,” said Per-Olof Algotsson, director of Johns Manville  European composite Materials business at Sunway Engineering Products group.
