Which Compound to Use to Manufacture an Air Conditioner Housing

What Is It?

NEXXALAC™ Unfilled ABS Compound, chosen for larger appliance housing panels needing surface finish and impact tolerance.

How It's Manufactured

ABS is compounded with UV and stabilizer additives suited to indoor and semi-outdoor appliance exposure.

Manufacturing Process for This Application

AC housing panels are injection molded as larger shell components, using ABS's good flow to fill vent louvers and panel curvature cleanly across a large mold.

Why Polymer Choice Matters Here

An AC housing is a large, visible consumer appliance panel exposed to condensation and repeated cleaning — ABS's surface durability and moderate impact strength are chosen over a lower-grade commodity plastic that would degrade or discolor faster under that combined moisture and handling exposure.

Why This Compound Is Suited

"AC Housing" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.

Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of ABS compounds for ac housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
