What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Unfilled ABS Compound, chosen for small, cosmetically visible consumer audio housings.
How It's Manufactured
ABS is compounded with color additives matched to the product's design finish and pelletized for precision molding.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Headphone shells are injection molded in fine detail around speaker driver and cable entry points, using ABS's good flow to fill these small, thin-walled features without short-shots.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A headphone housing is small, handled constantly, and worn against skin — surface finish, light weight, and impact tolerance for drops all matter simultaneously, which is the balance ABS is chosen for over either a cheaper, duller polymer or a heavier, costlier one.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Ear phone, Head phones" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
