INEOS Styrolution, a global leader in styrenics, announced that its Novodur 680 has been selected by Haier, a leading brand in household appliances, for the door cap application of its newly launched premium one-door refrigerator in Thailand.

Haier Thailand was seeking a material with high ESCR and chemical resistant properties for the door cap application of its premium one-door refrigerator. Due to its larger single surface area of a one-door refrigerator, the door cap application is more susceptible to cracking when PU foam is being injected.

Novodur 680’s ESCR and good chemical resistant properties result in no cracking during the PU injection process, greatly improving the production efficiency and hence greater costs savings for Haier.

Samart Noiviset, Principal Engineer, Haier Thailand, commented, “As a leading household brand, Haier aspires to stay at the forefront of the industry’s innovation and trends. The high quality and consistency of Novodur 680 allows us to provide good quality products to our customers, while achieving production efficiency and costs savings at the same time.”

Novodur is INEOS Styrolution’s brand of specialty acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) copolymers. The product line contains grades with a well-balanced mix of properties, including good impact strength, dimensional stability and heat resistance. It is easy to process and gives a high aesthetic colourful surface appearance.

“We are extremely pleased to be able to work in Haier Thailand, helping them to find the right solutions to further enhance their leadership of high enterprise standards in the refrigerator industry,” added James Wang, Industry Lead for Household & Electronics, Asia Pacific, INEOS Styrolution.
