In the automotive and home appliance industries, plastic materials that balance structural performance and appearance texture have always been highly favored. The Novodur® P2MC launched by INEOS Styrolution is an electroplated grade ABS particle specifically designed for high-gloss appearance, electroplated finish and precision injection molding. With its stable processing characteristics and excellent surface performance, Novodur® P2MC has become an important choice for manufacturers of automotive and home appliance appearance parts.

Novodur® P2MC

1. Material Highlights and Characteristics

High fluidity, suitable for complex mold designs

Novodur® P2MC has excellent fluidity, enabling it to maintain uniform filling in complex geometry structures and fine cavities, reducing weld marks and surface defects.

Excellent electroplating adhesion

Electroplated grade ABS requires a uniform surface and stable activation reaction. P2MC demonstrates excellent metal adhesion in the electroplating process, with a firmly bonded coating and a smooth, lustrous appearance.

High impact toughness

The material still maintains good toughness at low temperatures and is suitable for the usage requirements of automotive exterior parts in cold environments.

Dimensional stability and thermal deformation control

The heat distortion temperature of ABS P2MC is stable, ensuring precise dimensions during long-term use and temperature changes.

Balanced mechanical and electrical performance

While ensuring structural strength, it has excellent insulation performance and is suitable for the electrical safety requirements of household appliance shells and electronic components.

2. Typical Application Fields

Industria automotriz: Used for interior and exterior trim parts, radiator grilles, decorative strips, door handles and electroplated bright strip components.

In the home appliance field: Widely used in electroplated panels, control face frames, and functional component shells to enhance the overall visual texture.

Bathroom products: It can be applied to electroplated faucet decoration, panels and bathroom accessories, taking into account both moisture resistance and appearance.

Novodur® P2MC demonstrates unique competitiveness in the appearance parts market with its excellent electroplating properties and processing adaptability.

3. Processing and Forming Technology

Novodur® P2MC is made by injection molding process and is compatible with mainstream injection molding equipment.

It has a high melt index, a short molding cycle, smooth surface flow, and can reduce bubbles and shrinkage marks.

During the pre-treatment stage of electroplating, the chemical etching reaction of P2MC is uniform, the coating bonding strength is high, and it is not easy to peel off or bubble, providing an ideal foundation for the subsequent metal coating.
