Phillips, a major electronic producer has recently
introduced a new Philshave Coolskin shaver from
a transparent casing from MABS (Methacrylonitrile
Butadiene Styrene copolymer) produced by BASF
under the brand name of Terlux.
Coolskin, manufactured by means of two-component
injection molding, is a product that combines
Polycarbonate and MABS for the first time. The
housing is made of Polycarbonate that is then
covered with a casing of the transparent Terlux.
In addition to its good resistance to chemicals,
Terlux has also proven to be considerably more
impact-resistant than other transparent plastics
such as SAN. Moreover, it provides good adhesion
to the housing made of Polycarbonate.
At first glance, Terlux captivates with its
sparkle and transparency. Closer scrutiny reveals
its outstanding toughness and rigidity, important
pre requisites for its use in sports and recreation
in addition to the personal care products such
as shavers..
