|---|---|---|---|
| ViSpec HD 2100 ViSpec HD/T 2102 ViSpec HT/ET 2104 |
A range HDPE sheet with excellent impact properties at very low temperatures, and very good chemical resistance and stiffness. Particularly resistant to stress whitening when bent. HD/T and HT/ET versions are with improved flow characteristics. | Wheel arch liners Mud guards Under bonnet components |
- Very high impact resistance - Very tough - High chemical resistance |
| ViSpec PPC 3100 |
A Polypropylene sheet that has excellent physical characteristics, particularly for applications where impact strength and heat resistance is important. Its chemical resistance is excellent. |
Mud guards Wheel arch liners Interior components |
- Very high impact resistance - Very tough and stiffer than HDPE - High chemical resistance |
| ViSpec Mineral 3110 | A modified Polypropylene sheet filled with a high quality mineral for greater rigidity and improved forming characteristics than our standard range of PPC materials. | Mud guards Wheel arch liners Interior components |
- Improved thermoforming performance - Very tough and improved stiffness - High chemical resistance |
| ViSpec Soft feel 3170 |
A modified Polypropylene sheet with a coextruded soft feel cap with excellent impact properties and semi- rigid stiffness. The cap layer has a flexible soft layer which imparts a pleasant touch and anti-slip properties. It also has good anti- fogging properties and meets European Directive (Transit) 95/28/EC. |

- Soft feel surface |
| ViSpec R59 6559 | VitasheetGroup’s Flame Resistant ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) has very good toughness with a high degree of rigidity and heat resistance. It keeps its colour after forming. Yellow card accreditation on the sheet with flame retardant V0 at 1,5 mm and the more stringent 5VA approval at 3 mm. | Busses interiors Ceiling panels |
- UL V0 Fire certification - Choice of colours and textures - Very colour and gloss stable during forming (no paint required) |
| ViSpec W 6610 |
An ABS sheet capped with a ASA layer. This combination offers the outdoor resistance of ASA, with the superior impact resistance and rigidity of ABS. It gives the benefit of extended weathering performance giving long service to exposed environments. |
Air con unit covers Cab roofs Exterior body components |
- Cost and weight vs GRP - Range of embossing and colours - Improved chemical resistance - Good UV performance |
| ViSpec Sun 6700 | Acrylic capped ABS offering excellent weathering properties with high UV and scratch resistance, ideal for meeting the demands of exposure to the elements of the outdoors. | Exterior body panels Front and rear bumpers Head light surrounds Badges and logos |
- UV resistance - Lightweight - High gloss surface - High range of colours including metallics - Cost advantage vs painted metal |
| ViSpec VHI 9300 |
An ABS-Polyamide blend with very high impact strength even at low temperature. It has similar forming characteristics as ABS. |
Exterior components Bumpers |
- Easy to form |
| ViSpec PC 9845 ViSpec PC 9865 ViSpec PC 9880 |
An ABS/PC blended sheet which is easily processed with similar processing properties of ABS but with the high heat resistance and excellent mechanical properties of Polycarbonate. It has excellent rigidity, which allows for some reduction of its thickness compared to ABS. | Resilient interior parts | - Heat resistance increased working temperatures - Impact strength - Rigidity |
| ViSpec VHT 9910 |
A high specification sheet that has a good combination of tensile strength, rigidity and toughness. It has a very high working temperature (HDT 160oC). It has very good chemical resistance against hydrocarbons, acids and alkalis. |
Under bonnet components Light housing Very high temperature applications |
- HDT temperature of 160°C - Very high chemical equipment - Good impact resistance and rigidity |
