NOVA Chemicals Styrocell® EF743C Expandable Polystyrene (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polystyrene (PS); Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Material Notes:	This grade is a fire retardant molding grade typically used for high-density foam applications. It consists of spherical polystyrene particles (beads) containing an expanding agent, pentane and an internal flame retardant additive. Applications: This is a fire retardant molding grade. It is used mainly for the production of high-density contour moldings. Compared with standard STYROCELL grades, EF743C offers more controllable pre-expansion, short maturing times and fast cycle time during molding. This grade should not be used for food contact applications. Information provided by NOVA Chemicals.
