Styrolux® 3G55

Generic Family: Styrene Butadiene Block Copolymer • Supplied by: INEOS Styrolution
Styrolux® 3G55 is a clear styrene butadiene copolymer (SBC) used mainly in sheet extrusion and thermoforming applications. It is specifically designed for improved performance in blends with general-purpose polystyrene, providing parts with an excellent balance of toughness, transparency and economics. Because of the tendency of blocking, 3G55 is mainly used in inline thermoforming. 3G55 is difficult to print and decorate since it contains a microcrystalline wax.

FEATURES
  • Outstanding toughness
  • Highest GPPS blend capability
  • Good Clarity

APPLICATIONS
  • Food and non-food packaging
  • Food service items
  • Drinking cups
  • Extruded films
  • In-line thermoforming
