Self-coloring mABS for demanding extrusion process by INEOS Styrolution
Last update on Jul 16, 2026
Edge band manufacturers running extrusion lines face a recurring trade-off: keeping production speed and easy processing without losing color consistency or surface quality across white, black, and digitally printed designs. A material that flows well under demanding extrusion conditions and holds a stable color base for self-coloring is not always easy to source.
INEOS Styrolution is supplying Italian edge band manufacturer Monguzzi with Lustran® 532, an mABS grade designed for demanding extrusion processes.
