What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Glass Filled ABS Compound, chosen for rotating impeller components needing stiffness at speed.
How It's Manufactured
Glass fiber is compounded into ABS resin on a twin-screw extruder for enhanced rigidity.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Impellers are injection molded with blade geometry designed to move air or fluid efficiently, relying on glass fiber's stiffness to keep blade shape true at running speed.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
An impeller that flexes at running speed loses pumping or airflow efficiency and can become unbalanced — glass-filled ABS's rigidity keeps blade geometry accurate under the centrifugal load of rotation.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Impellers" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for impeller applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
