Improved Heat Resistance Temperature of Transparent ABS

Compounding transparent ABS with KURALPHA™ MX grade improves heat resistance temperature and surface hardness while maintaining the transparency and coloration of transparent ABS. Since HDT exceeds 80°C after compounding, it can be used for automotive interior applications, which has been difficult with conventional transparent ABS.
