Product Description
HE-3.5-3-stg is a super high impact polystyrene designed for applications requiring extra toughness without sacrificing mechanical properties.

It has excellent falling dart impact which, combined with the high gloss, makes it a candidate for some ABS applications.

This polymer is superior for co-extrusion of high gloss sheet.

HE-3.5-3-stg has unique capabilities for deepdraw thermoforming with good side wall distribution.
