Challenge

To provide a clear, tough and cost-effective alternative to PET, (polyethylene terephthalate) for transparent steam cleaner and vacuum components - without compromising performance.

Solution

ZYLAR® 530 delivers excellent stiffness, combined with elongation, and meets the chemical resistance required for floor care appliance components. Additionally, ZYLAR® 530 achieves a balance of toughness and clarity that molders look for, while offering lower density for lighter weight parts.
