Hager wanted to utilize more recycled plastic in its products; however, the material needed to perform to the same technical specification as Hager’s current prime material.
As a visible outdoor part, the material needed good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and a matte finish.
The Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations met the required technical specifications, including good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and with a matte finish, making them suitable for use in the cubyko leaf waterproof outdoor socket.
