Clear, Tough and Cost Effective PET Alternative for Floor Care Products
Market: Consumer Goods, Appliances, Floor Care Products
Polymer: ZYLAR® 530
Key performances
Good clarity
Practical toughness
Excellent ductility
Excellent colorability and decoration
Low processing costs
Low specific gravity = more parts per pound of resin
UL94 HB approved
FDA & USP Class VI compliant
Available in UVA and Anti-stat grades
Challenge
To provide a clear, tough and cost-effective alternative to PET, (polyethylene
terephthalate) for transparent steam cleaner and vacuum components - without
compromising performance.
Solution
ZYLAR® 530 delivers excellent stiffness, combined with elongation, and
meets the chemical resistance required for floor care appliance components.
Additionally, ZYLAR® 530 achieves a balance of toughness and clarity that
molders look for, while offering lower density for lighter weight parts.
