Which Compound to Use to Manufacture an Electrical Switch
What Is It?
NEXXALAC™ Unfilled PC Compound, chosen for switch housings needing impact strength and consistent white or natural coloring.
How It's Manufactured
PC resin is compounded with color and stabilizer additives at PC's higher processing temperature.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Switch bodies are injection molded from dried PC pellets, using the resin's low shrinkage to hold precise dimensions around the internal switching mechanism.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A wall switch is operated thousands of times over its service life and occasionally struck or impacted — PC's high impact strength keeps the housing intact through that repeated mechanical actuation without the housing itself becoming the point of failure.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Electrical & Electronic housing parts" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications, and electrical switches fall directly within it.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PC compounds for electrical switch applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
