Both grades are available in various colours and as an NR (natural) option. PCF savings are up to -71%. Novodur ECO P2MC B50 has been designed specifically for electroplating making it a material of choice for various sanitary and automotive appliances.

Mechanically recycled Novodur ECO High Heat MR[6] The Novodur High Heat (HH) family of products includes all ABS products modified to allow thermally stressed components to meet stringent stability requirements.
