Edistir® PD ICE S 900 Polimeri Europa Polystyrene, High Impact

Product Description

Very high environmental stress cracking resistant (VH ESCR) HIPS.

ICE S 900 exhibits high toughness and excellent chemical resistance to oils, fats and chemical agents and in particular to cyclopentane.
Suitable for extrusion/thermoforming and injection molding

Designation: Thermoplastics ISO 2897-PS-I,G,093-03-07-12

Designed for inner liners and frames for refrigerators where cyclopentane is used as blowing agent for insulating polyurethane foams.
ICE S 900 significantly improves the wall thickness distribution in thermoforming and allows to optimize the thickness of the original extruded sheet.

ICE S 900 satisfies UL94 HB at 1.5 mm (internal test).

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 S 900 is supplied in round pellets.
