Features & Benefits
Matte Finish for Premium Aesthetics
The matte surface finish ensures a refined, non-glossy appearance, perfect for visible components like automobile interiors and decorative panels.
High Stretch Ratio for Durability
With an elongation at break of up to 80%, Eastech M4 ensures improved tensile performance, allowing products like molded parts and co-extruded sheets to endure long-term wear and stress with reliability.
Thermal Stability for Versatile Applications
Eastech M4 offers excellent thermal characteristics, including a Vicat softening temperature of 101°C and heat deformation resistance at 77°C. This makes it highly suitable for applications requiring stability under elevated operational temperatures.
Use & Applications
- Automotive & Transportation: Ideal for lightweight yet durable interior and exterior components.
- Extruded or Co-Extruded Sheets: Perfect for packaging, appliance covers, and construction materials.
- Modified Products: Adaptable for blends or specialty formulations tailored to unique end-product demands.
