Pure polystyrene exhibits properties such as transparency, rigidity, thermal insulation, and resistance to moisture. These properties make it suitable for a variety of applications in industries like packaging, food service, and construction.
Characteristics
Manufacturing Processes
Virgin polystyrene can be processed through various methods such as extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming. These processes allow for the production of a wide range of shapes and forms to meet different industry needs.
Sabic PS330
PS 330 is a high impact polystyrene made by continuous block polymerisation of styrene monomer.
Synthetic rubber is incorporated during polymerisation to achieve impact resistance. It is generally unclear in colour. Polystyrene is a force with a high temperature resistant effect.
Applications
Virgin polystyrene is widely used in the production of disposable food service items like cups, trays, and cutlery. It is also employed in packaging materials, insulation products, and various consumer goods.
