Vanity Mirror With NSG’s Anti-fouling Coating Technology Adopted in the Executive Lounge Grades for New Toyota Alphard and Vellfire.

22 Jun 2023

NSG Group is pleased to announce that a vanity mirror with our anti-fouling coating technology has been adopted in the Executive Lounge grades for the new Toyota Alphard and Vellfire which were released on June 21, 2023.

A vanity mirror is a small mirror usually installed behind the sun visors in the front seats and the popular accessory is also installed in the rear seats of the Executive Lounge grades for Alphard and Vellfire. With the full model change, convenience has been enhanced by integrating the mirror into the table on the second-row seat, instead of the conventional ceiling mounting type.

While the mirror is closer to the user's hand and making it easier to use, there was a disadvantage that fingerprints or other contaminants tend to be more likely to adhere to it, making it more conspicuous. The solution was our proprietary anti-fouling coating technology with oil-repellent functionality, which makes it less likely for oil or dirt to adhere to the mirror surface, and the mirror surface can be kept clear by light wiping.

In addition, NSG's products are used for all glazings of the Alphard and Vellfire, with our glass products and these support the realization of a high-quality and luxurious interior space.

NSG Group will continue to provide creative technologies and value-added glass solutions to meet the needs of the automotive sector, which is transforming itself due to the rapid development of Connected, Automated, Shared and Electrified technologies, and the growing global need for sustainable, environmentally friendly products.
