POLYSTYRENE CRYSTAL 1540 is an easy flowing crystal polystyrene designed for extrusion or injection applications. In extrusion, it allows to increase extruder output and thermoforming cycle times when mixed with a high impact polystyrene such as POLYSTYRENE IMPACT 7240. Having high gloss, it is particularly suitable for glossy-layer co- extrusion. In injection moulding, POLYSTYRENE CRYSTAL 1540 with this low viscosity at high shear rate has a good injectability and combines an excellent fluidity with a higher softening point. Main applications are dairy sheet, cups (dilution with impact polystyrene) Injection: Boxes, office equipment - e.g. filing trays, CD boxes, pen bodies, internal fridge parts, toys, cups. Characteristics Method
Melt Flow Index (MFI) at 230°C / 2.16 kg, density, polymer melting point and tensile strength. The full Technical Data Sheet (TDS) is available on request.
Suited to injection moulding and forming applications such as rigid containers, caps and engineering parts that demand high stiffness and dimensional stability.
