Which Compound to Use to Manufacture a Textile Pulley

What Is It?

NEXXALAC™ Glass Filled ABS Compound, chosen for running machinery components needing added stiffness over standard ABS.

How It's Manufactured

Glass fiber is compounded into ABS resin on a twin-screw line for higher rigidity and abrasion resistance.

Manufacturing Process for This Application

Textile pulleys are injection molded to precise diameters and groove profiles that must hold dimension under continuous belt or thread friction during long machine shifts.

Why Polymer Choice Matters Here

A pulley in continuous textile machine operation experiences ongoing frictional wear at its running surface — glass-filled ABS's higher abrasion resistance over the unfilled grade is specifically why it is chosen for this continuously-running application.

Why This Compound Is Suited

"Textile Pulleys" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.

Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for textile pulley applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
