ABS
ABS is a typical suitcase material. It is considerably cheaper than polycarbonate in production but has similar advantages. The most significant features of a hardside suitcase made of ABS are impact resistance and high sturdiness. The matt finished surface is very scratch- and fingerprint resistant. Even rainy weather cannot spoil the holiday mood of an ABS hardside suitcase!
ABS AND POLYCARBONATE
The inner shell of these suitcases is made of ABS. The outer part is coated with a polycarbonate film, which provides the ABS suitcases with a shiny surface. Thanks to this two layer technique, even high gloss prints in many different colours can be realised.
PP - POLYPROPYLENE
PP stands for polypropylene, a widely used thermoplastic that belongs to the polyolefins. It is one of the most widely used plastics in the world and is characterized by its versatility, cost-effectiveness and good mechanical properties. PP is light and robust at the same time as being highly flexible.
The material has the further advantage that it is 100% recyclable.
600D POLYESTER
600D polyester is a durable, long-lasting, and water-resistant fabric commonly used for bags, backpacks, and suitcases. The designation "600D" refers to the denier strength of the yarn, indicating medium to high durability. The material is tear-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and resistant to external influences such as moisture and dirt. A PU or PVC coating provides additional stability and protection against water. Despite its robustness, 600D polyester remains relatively lightweight, making it ideal for travel and outdoor products.
