The modified plastics for small household appliances are mainly used to make the appearance color more beautiful and environmentally friendly, energy-saving and low-carbon materials, and reduce costs. Modified plastics can meet the appearance color of small household appliances. At present, technology, fashion and personalized color home appliances have become an inevitable trend of current development.
First, the main solutions are:
(1) Using bright materials, high-gloss, scratch-resistant materials and other modified materials, the modified materials are more abundant in color, such as: bright black, purple red, tender green, brilliant red, sea blue and so on.
(2) Free spray series —— Pearlescent, plush, metallic, etc., can make plastic products do not need to be sprayed to achieve the same effect as silver, earthen gold, silver ash and other metals.
(3) The modified plastic has excellent impact resistance, heat resistance, low temperature resistance, chemical resistance and electrical properties, easy processing, stable product size and good surface gloss.
Second, the main application characteristics of each material:
Appearance parts mainly used materials
Dyeing ABS: heat resistance, high surface gloss, stable size, easy processing, easy to spray, can be made into different colors according to requirements.
PP plus filling: low cost, good fluidity, stable size and easy processing
PC material: high strength, high temperature resistance, good transparency
PC/ABS alloy: heat resistance, good surface gloss, stable size and easy processing
Decorative parts mainly used materials
Transparent material: transparent ABS, PMMA, PC, etc.
Plating material: electroplating grade ABS
Spray-free material: high gloss spray-free ABS, spray-free AS, spray-free PC/ABS, spray-free PP
The spray-free material has high gloss, metallic color, good processability, bright color, good fluidity and scratch resistance.
Third, common small household appliances plastic materials
(1) microwave oven
The plastic parts on the microwave oven are mainly external parts, including the outer casing, the base, the handle, the knob, etc., and are required to be heat resistant.
The selected plastic materials are heat resistant ABS, flame retardant HIPS, heat resistant PP, PC/ABS alloy, and the like.
(2) Rice cooker
The plastic parts on the rice cooker are mainly external parts, including the outer casing, the base, the cover, the handle, the switch, etc., and are required to be heat resistant. The selected plastics are spray-free ABS and high gloss PP.
(3) Air humidifier
The selected plastic materials are: dyed ABS, spray-free material, transparent part (PC, GPPS), high gloss PP
(4) Juicer, Soymilk
The plastic materials selected are: transparent parts (PC, AS, GPPS), opaque parts (ABS, high gloss PP).
(5) Vacuum cleaner
The plastic parts of the vacuum cleaner require anti-static to avoid dust absorption. In addition, it requires good electrical properties, good rigidity, impact resistance, scratch resistance, good dyeability and luster, especially the casing.
The selected plastic materials are dyed ABS, HIPS, high gloss PP, and transparent parts can be PC, AS, GPPS.
