LG Chem XR404 Hot Sale ABS Resin

Physical Properties

• Specific Gravity: Measured in accordance with ASTM D792, the material’s specific gravity is 1.05 g/cc (1.05 g/cc), reflecting its density relative to water.
• Maximum Moisture Content: For injection molding, the maximum moisture content is 0.010 (unitless) to ensure material suitability.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow: Per ASTM D955 at 3.20 mm (0.126 in) thickness, linear shrinkage ranges 0.0040–0.0070 cm/cm (0.0040–0.0070 in/in).
• Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238, melt flow rate is 7.0 g/10 min at 220 °C (428 °F) under 10.0 kg (22.0 lb) load.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) copolymer.
• Modification Features:
  • Optimized for injection molding to form complex, high-precision parts efficiently.
  • Heat-resistant to maintain performance in elevated-temperature environments.
  • High stiffness provides resistance to deformation under mechanical stress.
  • Offers a high-gloss surface finish for enhanced aesthetic appeal.

Applications:

1. Home Appliances
   • LG Chem XR404 is widely used in the outer casings and panels of various consumer appliances due to its smooth surface finish and good dimensional stability.
   • Examples: Vacuum cleaners, washing machine panels, refrigerator trims, air conditioner housings.
   • Why XR404: High gloss surface, impact resistance, ease of injection molding.
   • Supporting Data: The impact strength of 20 kg·cm/cm ensures durability against household wear and accidental bumps.
2. Consumer Electronics and Accessories
   • XR404 provides an aesthetic finish and dimensional accuracy, making it ideal for parts requiring precise assembly and tactile quality.
   • Examples: Monitor bezels, printer housings, external hard drives, speaker cabinets.
   • Supporting Reason: Low melt index (2.5 g/10 min) ensures stable molding for detailed features.
