A vast array of applications in this market segment has used polymers supplied by Marplex. High gloss, critically coloured AstalacT ABS has been the material of choice for bathroom fittings while rigid Vinyl is used for drainage and sewerage fittings.
High UV demands in the Australian outdoors has seen the strong development of AstalacT ASA into aesthetically pleasing side panels for evaporative coolers and roof top vents. The newly developed SAS compounds have further enhance the weatheribility of the AstalacT ASA range.
Astavin* vinyl compounds has been a new addition to polymer range marketed by Marplex. Traditionally, vinyl has been a material of choice in the building industry for cable and pipe applications. It has also been widely used in both flexible and rigid extrusions, window profiles and fire collars.
The laundry trough and shower base moulded from Iupital® acetal is quite possibly the largest moulding of it's kind from acetal in the world. Iupital® acetal was chosen for the hardness, chemical resistance and good abrasion properties.
