Phillips, a major electronic producer has recently introduced a new Philshave Coolskin shaver from a transparent casing from MABS (Methacrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene copolymer) produced by BASF under the brand name of Terlux.

Coolskin, manufactured by means of two-component injection molding, is a product that combines Polycarbonate and MABS for the first time. The housing is made of Polycarbonate that is then covered with a casing of the transparent Terlux. In addition to its good resistance to chemicals, Terlux has also proven to be considerably more impact-resistant than other transparent plastics such as SAN. Moreover, it provides good adhesion to the housing made of Polycarbonate.

At first glance, Terlux captivates with its sparkle and transparency. Closer scrutiny reveals its outstanding toughness and rigidity, important pre requisites for its use in sports and recreation in addition to the personal care products such as shavers..
