Material Notes:
ARCEL is a high-performance, moldable foam resin consisting of 70% polystyrene (PS) and 30% polyethylene (PE). ARCEL provides toughness, flexibility and durability in a lightweight foam.The strength and flexibility of ARCEL creates a resilient resin able to be molded into numerous complex and intricate forms. Its lightweight construction is resistant to puncture, flaking, tearing and breaking. In addition, packaging molded with ARCEL provides good cushioning and easy handling, while its lightweight properties help lower freight and other packaging costs.ARCEL 730 is available in low-pentane (LV) grades for customers with strict pentane emission laws or high-density applications.ARCEL 730 can be continuously or batch expanded using conventional EPS expansion equipment. Some minor material handling modifications may be required. For molded part densities below 1.5 pcf (24 g/l), double-pass expansion will be required to attain even lower bulk densities. ARCEL 730 has been expanded in continuous expanders ranging in size from 55 to 300 gallons as well as several sizes of batch expanders.Information provided by NOVA Chemicals.
