Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polystyrene (PS)
Material Notes:	STYRON™ A-TECH™ 6079 is an ignition resistant polystyrene (IRPS) resin designed specifically for consumer and business electronics applications that demand excellent aesthetics, along with a strong blend of toughness and flow/process-ability characteristics. Its high melt flow enables faster cycle times and better flow molding, which reduces scrap/waste. In addition, the molder has a wider operating window with the parameters for larger tools. Available in five colors: Natural, Light Gray, Gray #5, Gray, and Black. Applications Consumer electronics: larger size TV cabinets Large and/or hard-to-fill parts (including no-paint) Small portable electronics: cellular phones, pagers, etc. Information technology/business equipment: hard drives, monitors, keyboards, printers, fax machine housing, etc. Information provided by Dow Americas 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.
