SYNTHOS PS GP 174 is general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) of excellent heat resistance and good rheological properties. It is a thermoplastic material designed for extrusion, thermoforming and injection moulding. SYNTHOS PS GP 174 contains no internal lubricants. Product has a form of cylindrical granules of diameter 2.5 to 6 mms. Product may contain small amounts of granulate finer than that mentioned above of irregular shapes. Presence of any mechanical impurities in the granulate is not allowed. SYNTHOS PS GP 174 is a colorless plastic.

APPLICATION
Injection moulding is used to produce parts with increased thermal resistance. Production of XPS sheets and plates by means of direct extrusion and blowing. It is suitable for blending with high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and SBS copolymers to increase the thermal resistance of the product e.g. cups for hot drinks.
