Features & Benefits
Medium Heat Resistance
With a Heat Deflection Temperature of up to 92°C, ER400-C maintains structural integrity in warm environments, making it suitable for applications like appliance housings and automotive interior parts.
Low TVOC & Eco-Friendly
This material meets strict indoor air quality standards with low VOC emissions, ensuring safer use in consumer products and enclosed spaces without compromising performance.
Low Gloss & Aesthetic Flexibility
The matte finish reduces glare and hides fingerprints, ideal for visible surfaces in electronics, furniture, and decorative trim where a premium, non-reflective look is desired.
Use & Applications
- General Extruded Sheet
- Edge Band for Furniture and Panels
