Material Notes:

STYRON™ 487 is a high-impact polystyrene with an excellent balance of flow, toughness, stiffness and heat resistance. It has excellent deep draw characteristics and is appropriate for extrusion applications where stiffness and toughness combined with high contact clarity and trim-ability are important. STYRON™ 487 can also be used in injection molding situations. Main Characteristics Heat resistance Toughness Stiffness Complies with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1640 Applications Packaging/Disposables Appliances Housewares Extrusion Thermoforming Injection Molding Information provided by DowAmericas Styrenics was formed in 2008 as a joint venture between Dow Chemical and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company. Styron was a Dow trade name before the JV formation.
