KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties such as UV color protection and anti-scratch performance • Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding machinery • Different matrix materials can be enhanced with Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled or talc-filled PP • There is no limitation on the graining that can be used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the grain effect engraved in the tool • If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved, final parts will have an attractive speckled appearance, but will not be textured TYPICAL USES Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like appearance.
