What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Glass Filled ABS Compound, specified where a commercial vehicle instrument housing sees more vibration than a typical passenger car dash.
How It's Manufactured
Glass fiber is compounded into ABS resin for the added mechanical durability heavier-duty vehicle instrumentation requires.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Speedometer housings are injection molded to precisely hold the gauge mechanism and lens, with glass reinforcement keeping the housing rigid against the higher sustained vibration of commercial and off-road vehicle operation.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A commercial or off-the-road vehicle subjects its dashboard instrumentation to considerably more sustained vibration than a passenger car — unfilled ABS would be more prone to fatigue-cracking at mounting points over that harsher duty cycle.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Speedometer housing for OTR vehicles" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for speedometer housing (commercial vehicle) applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
