Polystyrene

General description

Hard, clear moderately strong polymer, biologically inert, good dimensional stability. Susceptible to exterior (UV) degradation.

Application

Extrusion molded foamed packaging, dinnerware, bottles and toys. Injection molded packaging containers, toys and disposable cutlery.

Features and Benefits

• Medium molecular weight (~192,000 Mw) balancing excellent mechanical strength and processability, making it suitable for varied applications.
• Beads or pellets form allows for easy handling, processing, and uniform melting in manufacturing processes.
• Melt index of 6.0–9.0 g/10 min (200°C/5kg) provides good flow characteristics, enabling efficient molding and extrusion.

Physical form

Thermoplastic amorphous polymer.
