Appliance

Aurora Plastics offers high flow injection molding and extrusion grade compounds in appliance applications.

We provide both flexible and rigid PVC compounds that are designed for easy processing. NSF^® 51 approved and highly impact resistant, these compounds are available in a wide range of color options, and also have UL94 V-0 listing.

Our AuroraTec™ rigid PVC line is ideal for weatherable and non-weatherable applications. AuroraGuard™ polymers provide high-heat, low-smoke zero-halogen and flame-retardant properties, making them a perfect choice for appliance applications.

Unlike rigid PVC, AuroraFlex™ SBS and SEBS compounds utilize multiple TPE/TPR chemistries to impart high-performance properties for durability and easy processing. TPE options are available as low as 10A* up to 50D durometer hardness. Some of our TPEs are offered in clear, as well as oil free grades.

Our team will also work with you to complete the formulation, with fillers in order to offer more specific properties, like reduced shrinkage, increased weight, pigment and lubrication.

* NOTE: Durometer hardness is measured with a calibrated durometer using the Shore Type-A scale in a room of consistent temperature. The indenter is inserted for 15 seconds to determine if it passes the ASTM D2240-Durometer Hardness test for the desired durometer.
