(China Plastic and Rubber Journal) -- Global engineering plastics supplier SABIC Innovative Plastics (SABIC IP) is expanding the portfolio of Geloy polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (PC/ASA) resin blends that open new opportunities for key market sectors.
The blends allow customers to achieve key system cost improvements and sustainability goals via thin-wall molding, replacement of secondary painting with molded-in color, replacement of halogenated materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and extended product life.
Building on outstanding weatherability performance vs resins such as PC, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS blends - including up to five times better color stability after two years of ultraviolet (UV) exposure as well as significant mechanical property retention - Geloy blends add other targeted properties and advantages.
