What Is It?
NEXXALON™ Glass Filled Compound, providing the structural strength a load-bearing chair base needs.
How It's Manufactured
Glass fiber is compounded into heat-stabilized PA6 resin on a twin-screw line for consistent fiber dispersion.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
A chair base (typically a 5-star base with castors) is injection molded as a large, structural part that has to carry a seated adult's full weight, plus impact load when the chair is rolled or tipped slightly, across every arm of the base simultaneously.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A chair base under sustained load and repeated impact from rolling and tipping needs glass reinforcement's stiffness and dimensional stability — an unfilled polymer would sag or crack at the arm-to-hub junctions over the chair's service life.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Chair base" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for office chair base applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
