Application Description

Pearl color pigment, moldability in thick part shape without sink marks, and soft touch feel deliver added consumer appeal for a new appliance handle.  The vacuum cleaner handle made of DuPont™ Surlyn® resin accents a new vacuum cleaner from LG Electronics.

Surlyn® meets moldability requirements for a thick part without sink marks. It provides much better moldability and soft touch feeling than transparent ABS or PMMA.
