Material Notes:

Product Description: General purpose Polystyrene PS 160 is manufactured by continuous mass polymerization of styrene monomer. It is a crystal-like, hard and brittle material having High molecular weight, imparting high tensile strength to end-products. It also has high Vicat and heat deflection temperatures.Typical Applications: It is recommended for foam extrusion for egg cartons, clam-shell and for building insulation boards. It is also recommended for cookie and cake trays that require good organoleptic properties and can also be used for oriented polystyrene packaging products, artificial timber and light diffusers.Information provided by SABIC.
