General purpose Polystyrene PS 160 is manufactured by continuous mass polymerization of styrene monomer. It is a crystal-like, hard and brittle material having High molecular weight imparting high tensile strength to end- products. It has high vicat and heat deflection temperatures.
Shape: Pellets · Density: 1.05 g/cm³ · MFI: 3.3 g/10 min
It is recommended for foam extrusion for egg cartons, clam-shell and for building insulation boards. It is also recommended for cookie and cake trays that requires good organoleptics properties and can also be used for oriented polystyrene packaging products, artificial timber and light diffusers. PROCESSING CONDITIONS Typical temperature (°C) profile for PS 160: Throat Ambient, Feed 195°C, Transition 225°C, Metering 235°C, Die 230°C FOOD REGULATION PS 160 is suitable for Food contact application.
