Styrene High Impact
What is High – Impact Styrene?
Because of its combination of versatility, easy processing, and good value, styrene is one of the largest thermoplastics. It is frequently substituted for paper, wood and metals as the cost of these materials escalate. High – Impact Styrene is obtained by blending standard styrene with impact – improving standard styrene with impact – improving additives. It is an opaque white and is most often used for application of a temporary or disposable nature.
