High-Quality Plastic Parts for Appliance Shells
Appliance shell parts made from high-quality plastic represent those components that combine strength, functionality, and design according to their intended use in residential and industrial electric devices. These components are primarily produced through injection molding. The choice of material and its processing define the quality of the production process.
Requirements for high-quality shell parts for household appliances include performance and safety criteria:
- Accuracy of dimensions: Tolerance control (±0.05-±0.1mm for precision parts) to allow proper assembling with inner parts (motors, circuit boards, etc.)
- Mechanical strength: Ability to withstand impact (pass 1.5 m drop test without cracks), tensile strength should be at least 30 MPa, and resistance to deformations when stressed.
- Safety Requirements:
- Resistance to fire (should meet the UL94 V-0/V-1 standard for electrical household appliances).
- Emission of volatile organic compounds should not exceed the RoHS, REACH standards.
- Insulating properties: volume resistivity should be at least 10¹⁴Ω*cm for shells of high-voltage household appliances (air conditioners, electric water heaters).
- Environmental resistance:
- If it is for kitchen appliances: resistance to oils, acids and alkalis, no yellowing after 1000h of heat exposure (temperature – 80°C).
- If it is for outdoor appliances (portable air conditioners, garden tools): protection from moisture and dust (IP54/IP65), resistance to UV (color should not change after 500h of UV radiation).

Application Fields
- Electronics: Mobile phones’ housing, router casing, power adapter housing, etc.
- Industrial Machines: Housing of instruments, junction box, housing of industrial controls equipment.
- Automobiles: Decorative interior shells, sensors housing, and shell of small electronic components used in automobiles.
- Outdoor Products: Housing of outdoor monitor, waterproof lights, and portable power supply.
