MABS TORAY 920 555
Toray MABS 920-555 – ultra-clear MABS (Methyl-methacrylate-ABS) that marries PMMA-level transparency with ABS-like toughness, engineered for thin-wall cosmetic packaging, premium appliance covers and LED light guides.
Sold by container only: 16.00 mt/container. Quantity = number of containers.
Key Benefits
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| High transparency (~88 % transmittance, 3 mm) | Lets consumers see product contents and internal mechanics; ideal for crystal-look parts. |
| Balanced flow – MFR ≈ 11 g/10 min (220 °C / 10 kg) | Fills multi-cavity, thin-wall tools without welded-line haze or sink. |
| Superior impact vs. PMMA – Notched Izod ≈ 190 J/m @ 23 °C | Protects lids, jars and housings against drop shocks in daily use. |
| Good chemical gloss retention | Resists stress-crazing from alcohol perfumes, skin-care actives and common cleaners. |
| Easy to colour, chrome or laser-etch | Clear base accepts dyes, pearl masterbatch and vacuum-metalising, opening wide design latitude. |

Applications & Compliance
Typical Applications
-
Clear caps, jars and airless pump components for cosmetics & skin-care lines.
-
Water-reservoirs, blender lids and kettle windows in small appliances.
-
LED light pipes, diffuser lenses and illuminated keyboard keys.
-
Diagnostic consumables, cuvettes and protective covers (non-implant use).

Transparent toy parts, premium stationery, phone stands and display risers.
Compliance / Processing Notes
-
Rated UL 94 HB; halogen-free formulation.
-
Toray can supply RoHS (EU 2015/863) and REACH (SVHC) compliance letters; medical grades may offer ISO 10993 extractables data on request.
-
Dry resin at 75–80 °C for 2 h; barrel 220–250 °C; mould 40–60 °C for optimal clarity.
-
Keep colour concentrate ≤ 3 % to maintain transparency; use low-shear screws for optical parts.
Toray MABS 920-555 gives designers the freedom to create clear, tough and chemical-resistant partsthat sparkle on the shelf and survive real-world handling—without the brittleness of pure acrylic.
