Features & Benefits
Exceptional Low-Temperature Toughness
The XENOY 1105 resin maintains high impact strength down to -40°C, ensuring parts won’t become brittle in cold environments. This reliability is critical for automotive exterior trim and components used in refrigerated or outdoor settings.
Superior Paint Adhesion and Finish
With its very good paintability, XENOY™ Resin 1105 readily accepts coatings without requiring primers, streamlining production. This results in a durable, high-quality finish perfect for painted automotive body panels and consumer electronics housings.
Balanced Stiffness and Processability
This non-reinforced blend offers an optimal balance of flexural modulus and easy flow for injection molding. It allows for the production of complex, thin-walled parts with good structural integrity and excellent surface appearance straight from the mold.
