New PC/ABS for Exterior Applications

Development of new filler technology with very-low CLTE improved dimensional stability and reduced gap sizes for exterior PC/ABS parts, helping improve fit & finish. High gloss and enhanced paint adhesion makes the material an excellent choice for painted applications. The new grade also is lower density (10%) for lighter lower-cost parts, provides excellent impact strength for better durability, and has improved dimensional stability to reduce warpage. And because MFI is increased, parts can be molded faster and in thinner walls. This allowed the new material to replace aluminum at half the weight and 40% cost reduction (excluding tooling).
