ASTALOY™ PC/ABS EHA

About
ASTALOY™ PC/ABS EHA is an electroplatable alloy of ABS and Polycarbonate and is designed for injection moulding applications requiring a balance of easy electoplatability, impact toughness, product rigidity, heat resistance and mouldability. Typical applications in the automotive field include electroplated grilles, garnishes and doorhandles. Note: The letters “U” or “W” indicate UV stabilisation has been added [ ie: ASTALOY™ PC/ABS EHAW ].&&
