MABS LG TR558A-INP
LG Chem MABS TR558A-INP – Crystal clear MABS (methyl methacrylate-ABS) with balanced flowability, toughness, and chemical gloss retention – designed for premium clear cases, disposable medical supplies, and high-end cosmetic packaging.
Packaging: 25Kg/ Bag
Sold by container only: 19.00 MT/Container. Quantity = number of containers.
Main features
| Features | Significance |
|---|---|
| Excellent transparency (≈ 88 % light transmittance, 3 mm) | Shows internal features, pigments cleanly; rivals PMMA while staying tougher. |
| Medium–high flow – MFR ~ 12 g/10 min (220 °C / 10 kg) | Fills thin-wall, multi-cavity tools without knit-line haze. |
| Tough & ductile – Notched Izod ≈ 200 J/m (23 °C) | Resists drop impact better than PMMA and SAN blends. |
| Good chemical gloss retention | MMA matrix slows stress-cracking from alcohol-based lotions and household cleaners. |
| Easy colouring / metallising | Clear base accepts dyes, pearl masterbatch or vacuum-plating without primer. |

Compliance / Processing Instructions
-
Rated UL 94 HB; halogen-free formulation.
-
LG Chem provides RoHS & (on request) USP Class VI / ISO 10993 extractables letters for healthcare projects (not implant use).
