Product Description
Very easy flow general purpose polystyrene.

Used for injection of thin-wall, multi-cavity, very fast-cycle mouldings and for sheet extrusion in glossy capping of HIPS and in blend with HIPS or clear SBS.

Designation: Thermoplastics ISO 1622-PS,G,085-20

Typical uses include cups, packaging containers for foods and cosmetics, toys, medical articles.
Thanks to its high flow it is particularly suitable as carrier for master batches.

N 1910 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).
