What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Unfilled ABS Compound, the general-purpose consumer electronics housing grade.
How It's Manufactured
ABS resin is compounded with stabilizer additives on a standard line and pelletized for high-volume injection molding.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Keyboard bases and computer housings are injection molded with tight tolerances around key switch mounting points and port cutouts, relying on ABS's good flow to fill these detailed features cleanly.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A keyboard housing is handled and typed on daily for years without visible wear — ABS's scratch resistance and surface finish hold up to that repeated contact far better than a softer or duller alternative would.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Computer Housing and Key boards" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for computer keyboard housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
