What is Terluran® GP-35?

In the manufacturing era that pursues both "design sense and performance", Terluran® GP-35 from INEOS Styrolution has become the favored ABS resin for many engineers and manufacturers. With its outstanding fluidity and excellent surface expressiveness, it offers more molding flexibility and appearance possibilities for automobiles, home appliances and consumer electronics.

1. Material Highlights and Characteristics

Terluran® GP-35 is a dual-grade ABS material for injection molding and electroplating, specifically developed for products with high appearance requirements

  ・Mirror-like luster: After the granular material is formed, the surface is smooth and flat, suitable for high-brightness components and metal electroplating processes.

  ・High flow formability: Stable performance in complex molds and thin-walled parts, suitable for high-speed injection molding environments.

  ・Toughness and rigidity coexist: Maintaining structural strength under impact loads, suitable for functional appearance parts.

  ・Excellent heat resistance and dimensional control: Maintains shape stability in working environments around 95°C, ensuring long-term reliability for use.

  ・Easy to color and decorate: The original color particles are pure and can be flexibly mixed to create the exclusive color scheme required by the brand.

2. Main Application Directions

Terluran® GP-35 is widely used in products that require a balance between appearance and mechanical properties

  ・Automobile manufacturing: front grilles, electroplated decorative strips, instrument panel frames, interior parts, etc.

  ・Household appliances: washing machine panels, air purifier shells, TV frames, etc.

  ・Consumer products: toys, stationery, power tool shells, audio equipment panels;

  ・General structural components: Suitable for structural supports or appearance parts that require visual appeal.

3. Process and Processing Performance

This material is mainly used in injection molding processes, and its molecular design ensures the stability and uniformity of melt flow.

  ・High electroplating compatibility: The surface polarity is excellent, the electroplating adheres firmly, and the gloss distribution is uniform.

  ・Wide process window: It has a high tolerance for temperature and injection rate, which is convenient for mass production control.

  ・Compatible with multiple processing technologies: Suitable for secondary processing steps such as spraying, silk-screen printing, and ultrasonic welding.
