General
purpose polystyrene PS 125 is manufactured by continuous mass polymerization of
styrene monomer. It is a crystal-like, hard and brittle polymer; medium flow
with excellent clarity and higher Vicat and Heat Distortion temperatures allow
its use in many different applications.
It is
recommended for the manufacture of a variety of packaging items, namely jewelry
and gift boxes; medical supplies such as petri dishes, test tubes and specimen
jars, etc. Another important use is in caping the high impact polystyrene
coextruded sheet for high surface gloss. It could be blended with impact
modifier resin for clear packaging articles.
