Synthos PS GP 545

About
SYNTHOS PS GP 545 is general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) with excellent optical properties, gloss and increased heat resistance. It is a thermoplastic material designed for injection moulding, extrusion, thermoforming and blow extrusion. Product has a form of cylindrical granules of diameter 2.5 to 6 mm. SYNTHOS PS GP 545 contains an external lubricant. APPLICATION Injection moulding is used to produce e.g. packaging for cosmetics, CD and DVD cases, vegetable boxes for refrigerators, shower enclosure panels. Extrusion is used to produce sheets and plates that can be thermoformed to packaging for the food industry. Blow extrusion may be produce biaxially-oriented sheets (BOPS). For these types of processing are properties of SYNTHOS PS GP 545 usually modified by blending with the high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and SBS copolymers. It is also used as a co-extrusion material in the extrusion of plates and sheets with a glossy surface. The composition of the polymer meets the requirements of the Health and can therefore be used for the production of articles coming into contact with food.&&
