Ineos TERLUX 2802 HOT Sale MABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Bulk Density: With external lubricant, the bulk density is 0.590 g/cc (0.0213 lb/in³).
• Density: Measured via ISO 1183, density is 1.08 g/cc (0.0390 lb/in³), reflecting mass-volume ratio under standard conditions.
• Water Absorption at Saturation: At 23.0°C, the saturation water absorption is 0.70 % per ISO 62, indicating moisture retention capacity when fully immersed.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: Ranging 0.0040–0.0070 cm/cm per ISO 294-4 for injection-molded parts, this measures dimensional cooling shrinkage.
• Melt Flow: At 220°C, rates are 2.0 g/10 min (10 kg) and 17 g/10 min (21.6 kg) per ISO 1133 (volumetric), assessing injection flowability.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: MABS polymer
• Modification Features:
  
  • Standard injection molding grade for general-purpose applications.
  • Balanced ratio of stiffness and toughness for versatile performance.
  • High transparency comparable to SAN molding compositions.
  • Good chemical resistance and surface finish for aesthetic products.

Applications:

The balanced properties of TERLUX 2802 make it suitable for a wide range of applications that require a combination of clarity, toughness, and ease of molding.

1. Cosmetic and High-End Packaging
   
   • TERLUX 2802 is extensively used for cosmetic jars, lotion bottles, and other premium packaging where a glass-like appearance is desired without the brittleness or weight of glass.
   • Its high transparency ensures the product inside is clearly visible, while its durability prevents breakage.
2. Electronic and Electrical Housings
   
   • The high flow rate of this grade allows for the production of complex, thin-walled parts required for modern electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, and digital display enclosures.
   • Its rigidity and impact strength provide robust protection for internal components.
3. Medical Devices and Laboratory Equipment
   
   • The transparency, chemical resistance, and sterilization compatibility of TERLUX 2802 make it a preferred material for disposable medical devices, petri dishes, and laboratory equipment.
   • It can be sterilized using gamma radiation and ETO (ethylene oxide) methods while maintaining its physical properties and clarity.
