Product Description
Styrolux® 693 D is a clear styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) with a well balanced combination of toughness and clarity.
Styrolux® 693 D is mainly used for thermoformed articles, especially in blends with general-purpose polystyrene.
Styrolux® 693 D contains a microcrystalline wax which acts as an antiblock providing processing benefits but decreases the printability.
Major applications include: food and non-food packagings, thermoformed transparent containers and cups for cold beverages, thermoformed lids, toys, boxes.
