Product Description
Environmental stress cracking resistant (ESCR) HIPS.

ICE R 830D combines high impact strength with an improved chemical resistance to oils, fats and chemical agents, such as detergents for both industrial and domestic use.
Developed in particular for the fridge sector where hydrocarbons are used as blowing agents for PU insulating foams.

Designation: Thermoplastics ISO 2897-PS-I,G,088-03-07-12

This grade is suitable for extrusion/thermoforming and injection moulding.
Typical applications are inner liners and frames for refrigerators and packaging containers for fatty foods. ICE R 830D significantly improves the wall thickness distribution in thermoforming and allows to optimize the thickness of the original extruded sheet.

ICE R 830D is certified UL94 HB "all colors" at 1.5 mm (UL file E83071).

This grade in its natural version complies by composition with the requirements set by the main Regulations for plastic materials intended for food contact (including the EEC Directive 2002/72/CE and subsequent amendments).

ICE R 830D is supplied in cylindrical pellets.
