• Automotive industry: Used for dashboards, trim parts, mirror housings, grilles, and interior components.
• Consumer electronics: Enclosures for telephones, televisions, printers, and computer components.
• Toys: Widely used in manufacturing toys (e.g., LEGO bricks).
• Household appliances: Vacuum cleaners, mixers, kitchen utensils, and other appliances.
• Construction: Pipes, fittings, and plastic panels.
• Furniture: Components like handles, brackets, and drawer systems.
• Sports equipment: Helmets, protective gear, and casing parts.
• Medical devices: Housings and non
• implantable medical tools.
• Good impact resistance: Offers good toughness, even at low temperatures.
• Good dimensional stability: Maintains its shape and dimensions under mechanical stress and thermal variations.
• Good electrical insulating properties: Suitable for use in electrical and electronic applications.
• Good surface finish: Enables high
• quality cosmetic surfaces and easy coloring.
• Good processability: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion.
