Elegance, functionality, and endurance are the foundation of the high-end furniture market. As designers and manufacturers push the envelope of creativity and innovation, they rely increasingly on using materials that can realize their visions without compromise. Especially for products like office chair frames, which frequently endure stress, a seemingly minor defect like stress whitening can spell the difference between a five-star review and a dissatisfied customer.
Enter Thermylene® - Asahi Kasei's answer to these specific challenges, bringing tailored solutions that cater to the nuanced requirements of premium furniture manufacturing.
- Conquering Stress-Whitening: Thermylene® SWP
Stress-whitening has long been a notorious hurdle in furniture, particularly for pieces subjected to significant weight or pressure. Asahi Kasei Plastics meticulously engineered Thermylene® SWP (Stress-Whitening Prevention) to eliminate this issue in molded parts. Be it the elegant frame of an ergonomic office chair or a sleek, modern table leg, this grade ensures that the aesthetics remain uncompromised under duress.

Though often overlooked, armrests bear the brunt of daily use and stress. They need to be resilient without sacrificing comfort or design. Thermylene® P8/P10 is the material of choice for such applications. It's not just about strength, but strength designed for the unique challenges armrests face - ensuring longevity and sustained aesthetics.
