ELIX Polymers and Polyscope Polymers are working together in specialty compounds for high demanding automotive premium applications.
Improving the Toughness of Engineering Thermoplastics
ELIX polymer modifiers are used for the XIRAN® products of
Polyscope. The high rubber content Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) modifier in powder form is used to improve the toughness of engineering thermoplastics and is also used by several compounding companies due to its high quality and superior impact strength performance at room & low temperature for polymer blends. The high rubber content ABS is part of the ELIX Polymers high-performance polymer modifiers product portfolio which also includes several SAN compounding grades used as base resin for color concentrates.
XIRAN® outperforms many other plastics when it comes to the production of large and high precision components requiring dimensional stability, low creep, high temperature resistance, stiffness and low warpage. Its ability to mold within very tight tolerances makes XIRAN® the ideal material for complex and precise parts with high freedom in design, allowing multiple parts and functional features to be integrated in single shot molding at no additional cost.
Sunroof frames are an excellent example in which XIRAN® compounds are used to produce large parts with high dimensional stability and low creep. The use of XIRAN® materials offers designers a weight and cost reduction while also offering products with even greater functionalities and value-added features.
