POLYLAC PA-726M is an ABS Resin Dedicated for Ease of Electroplating

Unique features that Ensure Uniformly and Good Metal Coatiing Adhesion

Achieving a Durable and Visually consistent Metallic Finish Depends Heavily on the Quality of the Substrate Material. CHIMEI POLYLAC™ PA-726M ABS Resin is specifically developed for Electroplating applications, providing excellent Plating Adhesion and uniform Metal Deposition for components that demand both appearance and Long-Term Durability.

Unlike standard ABS Grades, POLYLAC™ PA-726M is engineered to Promote uniform Electroplating coverage and Strong Metal-To-Substrate Bonding. These characteristics Help manufacturers achieve High-Quality Plated Finishes with improved Consistency across Complex Geometries, making the material particularly suitable for Decorative and Functional Automotive Components.

The Resin offers a balanced Processing Profile with a Melt Flow Index (MFI) of approximately 23 ml/10 min (ISO 1133). This enables efficient Molding of Detailed Parts while maintaining the Surface Quality required for Successful Plating Operations. The Result is a finished Component with excellent Appearance, Dimensional Stability, and Plating Performance.

For Automotive applications, the ability to maintain Plating Adhesion over time is Critical. CHIMEI POLYLAC™ PA-726M ABS Resin supports the Production of Plated Parts that can withstand Environmental Exposure, Handling, and Service-Related demands while preserving an attractive Metallic Finish.

Developed by CHIMEI, Taiwan, this specialized Electroplating-Grade ABS combines the Durability and Processability of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene with Surface characteristics optimized for Metal Coating applications. The material has become a preferred Choice for manufacturers producing Decorative Automotive Trim and Exterior Components.
