Washing Machines

Washing machines, which are essential for daily life, continue to evolve through the pursuit of user-friendliness and designability as furniture, and various functions are installed depending on the manufacturer and model.
Toray's ABS resin, equipped with designability and further processability in addition to durability to withstand daily use, is also proposed for washing machine applications.

Drum type Washing Machine Lids

The lid part of drum type washing machines requires visibility for checking the contents and resistance to detergents. Also, because it is a large product, processability corresponding to large injection molded products is also important. Although glass is often used for this part, Toray proposes transparent ABS from the perspectives of designability and lightweighting.

It is equipped with high transparency, impact resistance, and chemical resistance.
It also excels in processability and can accommodate large injection molding.

Operation Panels

For the operation panels of washing machines, film insert molding, which molds a design printed on a film to fit the shape of the product, is widely used. It can accommodate complex designs, and by integrating the film and the resin, it is highly resistant to abrasion and scratches, making it possible to maintain the appearance.
Toray proposes transparent ABS, which excels in impact properties and chemical resistance and is equipped with durability under usage environments, as the base material for operation panels.

It has high transparency, contributing to improving the visibility of the operation panel, and is also equipped with impact resistance and chemical resistance. It also excels in processability and is suitable for film insert molding for complex shapes.
