Total PSC 1540(EU) Crystal Polystyrene
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polystyrene (PS); Polystyrene, Transparent Grade

Material Notes: 1540 is an easy flowing crystal polystyrene designed for extrusion or injection applications. In extrusion, it improves extruder output and thermoforming cycle times when mixed with a high impact polystyrene such as LACQRENE® 7240. Having high gloss, it is particularly suitable for glossy-layer co-extrusion. In injection molding, 1541 possesses low viscosity at high shear rate. It does combine excellent fluidity with a higher softening point that 1810/1811.

Application

Dairy sheet, Cups, Coextrusion crystal, Boxes, Petra dishes, Medical products, Office equipment - e.g. filling trays, CD boxes, Pen bodies, Internal fridge parts.

Information provided provided by Total Petrochemicals.

Total Petrochemicals acquired former Fina and Atofina plastics product lines. This product was previously known as LACQRENE®
