All our polymers are now positioned under a single portfolio brand: Signature Polymers. We will be making these modifications over the next six months so you will see both old and new grade names highlighted moving forward.
Appliance appeal
Produce eye-catching appliances cost-effectively with Exceed™ high performance PP. Challenge reality and rethink what is possible by designing appliance appearance parts with superior gloss and stiffness, compared to standard impact copolymers (ICP).
You can use Exceed™ high performance PP in appliance parts such as:
- Major appliances – appearance parts in washing machines and refrigerators
- Small appliances – appearance parts in vacuums, electric fans and garment steamers
Replace over-engineered acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) with Exceed™ high performance PP to eliminate trade-offs between glossy appearance and cost.
Exceed™ high performance PP is also recyclable where appropriate facilities exist and can expand the end of life options for your parts.Key benefits
-
20% higher gloss
Compared to standard ICP, Exceed™ high performance PP provides better product finish as a result of finely dispersed rubber
-
14% lower density
Compared to reference ABS, Exceed™ high performance PP produces lighter parts due to lower density
-
10% improved stiffness
Compared to standard ICP, Exceed™ high performance PP provides improved stiffness for thinner parts
-
20% lower cost¹
Compared to reference ABS, Exceed™ high performance PP provides high gloss at a lower cost per part
1. Economic cost calculation is based on the ICIS average ABS price in North East Asia in April 2019. Using a 0.8kg ABS part as an example, savings include the unit price difference between ABS and Exceed™ PP7123KNE1, as well as density benefits. Actual total savings are based on the weight of a customer’s replacement part and other associated costs.
