Kareline® PSMS gives a very beautiful natural appearance to products in applications where no absolute mechanical properties are needed but where excellent surface quality and fascinating outlook are a desired property e.g. packaging of cosmetics or jewellery. Material has also very good dimensional stability in moulding and as a product.

• High rigidity

• Excellent abrasion resistance

• Pleasant feel of surface and beautiful natural surface appearance
