Applications:
Given its properties—especially its matte finish and high toughness—ABSOLAC® XT04 M is widely used in applications where both aesthetics and durability are important.
- Automotive Interior and Exterior Trim: The matte finish is highly desirable for automotive dashboards, door panels, and other interior trim to reduce glare and provide a high-quality feel.
- Luggage Shells: The material’s high impact strength and resistance to cracking make it an excellent choice for luggage shells and other travel accessories that must withstand rough handling.
- Appliances and Electronic Housings: The extruded sheets can be used to thermoform large appliance parts and electronic housings, such as refrigerator door liners and vacuum cleaner bodies.
- Sheets for General-Purpose Use: The extruded sheets are used for a variety of applications, from point-of-sale displays to machine guards, where a durable, non-reflective surface is needed.
