Polystyrene CRYSTAL 1160: Description

POLYSTYRENE CRYSTAL 1160
DESCRIPTION
POLYSTYRENE CRYSTAL 1160 is a high heat resistance, high molecular weight crystal polystyrene mainly for the
extrusion industry. Most notably for the production of bi-oriented polystyrene (BOPS). It is particularly useful in
the production of sheet for food packaging and insulation board made by direct gassing, where it gives expanded
sheets with high mechanical properties.
POLYSTYRENE CRYSTAL 1160 can be used pure for the production of transparent cups or in dilution with
POLYSTYRENE IMPACT 7240 for the extrusion of sheet for hot-fill thermoforming applications.
Applications
Foamed trays, shower screens, high heat resistant thermoformed products, transparent cups, XPS.
