What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Unfilled ABS Compound, chosen here for dimensional stability across a wide temperature range.
How It's Manufactured
ABS is compounded with cold-impact-modifying additives suited to the sustained low-temperature environment the finished part will operate in.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Interior liners and shelf components are typically thermoformed or injection molded from ABS sheet or pellets, with surface finish specified for easy cleaning and stain resistance.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A refrigerator interior sees sustained cold rather than heat, and repeated door-open thermal cycling — a polymer that becomes brittle at low temperature would crack at shelf clips and hinge points over years of use, which is why cold-tolerant ABS grades are chosen over generic ones.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Refrigerator" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for refrigerator interior panel applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
