ALBIS is expanding its comprehensive portfolio of engineering plastics with two new products from leading global styrenics supplier INEOS Styrolution: Luran S XA SPF60, a thermoplastic withimproved UV resistance and Luran S MED, a specialty polymer designed for the healthcare sector, are now available throughout the entire EMEA region.

Luran S, acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate (ASA), is a key product family at INEOS Styrolution and fulfils the major technical requirements for demanding outdoor applications: superior UV resistance, high surface quality, outstanding color depth, high impact resistance and excellent chemical resistance, making it ideally suited for the automotive and construction industries in particular.

Taking the UV resistance and surface appearance of Luran S to the next level, the new SPF60 package combined with Xtra Aesthetics (XA) delivers the full potential of ASA in long-term, outdoor, high-gloss applications – for example, exterior trim and dual-design front grilles in the automotive sector or heat pumps and window spacers in the construction industry.

In a first for the healthcare sector, INEOS Styrolution’s Luran S MED is a medical grade plastic particularly well-suited for medical device housings and casings – especially for light colors which are susceptible to yellowing over long term exposure to UV light. As the latest addition to the ASA product family, Luran S MED 797S SPF30 is available in white and natural color and brings essential medical device properties to the table, demonstrating excellent resistance to cleaning media and disinfectants as well as ensuring high level protection of devices due to its high impact resistance.
