Why polymer prices matter for small domestic appliances:

Small domestic appliances rely on large volumes of engineering and standard plastics; where unit numbers are high, price movements in ABS, PC/ABS or PP have a noticeable effect on production costs.

  • High volume throughput: with mass-market articles, even a small price difference decides the total cost.

  • Several competing materials: ABS, PC/ABS and PP are specified according to the requirement – and their prices develop differently.

  • A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and budgets more robust.
