What Is It?
NEXXALENE™ Unfilled PP Co-Polymer Compound, valued for hinge properties and environmental stress cracking resistance.
How It's Manufactured
PP resin is compounded with heat and processing stabilizers on a standard line, since an iron housing sits close to a genuinely hot heating element and needs consistent thermal behaviour from the base resin.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
The housing is injection molded with PP's naturally easy flow filling the appliance's curved ergonomic shape without requiring high injection pressure, keeping wall thickness even around the heating element cavity.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A housing positioned around a heating element needs to handle sustained warmth from normal use without softening or deforming — PP's combination of decent heat tolerance for this duty and low cost is why it dominates this category of household appliance housing.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Electric Iron Housing" is explicitly listed as an application for this grade, alongside other household appliances.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PP compounds for electric iron housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
