What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Flame Retardant Unfilled PC/ABS Compound, chosen where a switch housing benefits from PC/ABS's surface finish and heat resistance over a polyamide switch part.
How It's Manufactured
FR additives are melt-blended into the PC/ABS resin blend on a twin-screw line for a UL-rated flammability performance.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Switch housings are injection molded from the FR compound with precise internal geometry to house the switching mechanism and contacts.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A switch positioned in a higher-visibility consumer product benefits from PC/ABS's superior cosmetic finish over an unfilled polyamide, while its FR rating meets the same baseline safety requirement any live-current-adjacent housing needs.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Electrical switches" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
