Product Description
ASTALOY™ PC/ABS M188 is an high heat resistance and ultra high impact strength alloy of ABS and Polycarbonate and is designed for moulding applications requiring exceptional impact toughness at both room temperature and low temperature, product rigidity, ultra high heat resistance whilst maintaining mouldability. M188 is formulated to contain no flame retardants such as polybromobenzne (PBB), polybromo diphenyl ether (PBDE) and chloro containing flame retardants. M188 can be coloured to be free of heavy metal based pigments including Hg, Cr, Pb and Cd etc. Typical applications include components for DVD player, TV, mobile phone, domestic/industrial switchgear.

Note: The letters "U" or "W" indicate UV stabilisation has been added [ ie: ASTALOY™ PC/ABS M188U ].
