Product analysis:
General-purpose polystyrene 1028 is produced through the continuous mass polymerization of styrene monomer. It is particularly ideal for extrusion processes, leading to products like sheets and films.
GPPS 1028 has a Vicat softening point of 102 (120°C,1 kg), a flexural modulus of 3200 (MPa), and an MFI of 2.4 (200°C & 5 kg). 1028 is supplied in pellet form and Petro Paak Petrochemical Company produces this grade under the HS code 39031910.
- Very high molecular weight
GPPS 1028 has a very high molecular weight, which contributes to its overall strength and durability. This characteristic allows the material to withstand mechanical stress and maintain its structural integrity during processing and in end-use applications.
- High heat grade
As a high-heat-grade polystyrene, 1028 offers excellent thermal stability. This means it can resist deformation and maintain its properties at elevated temperatures. It is crucial for applications that may be exposed to heat during production or in their final use.
- High melt strength
Its high melt strength is a key factor in its processability, particularly in extrusion processes. High melt strength ensures that the material flows well during extrusion. It is essential for producing high-quality extruded products with uniform thickness and minimal defects.
- Good clarity
One of the standout features of GPPS 1028 is its good clarity. This means that the material has a high level of transparency. It is ideal for applications where visual appeal is important. Its clarity also enhances the aesthetic quality of products, giving them a clean and polished look.
- Good mechanical strength
It exhibits good mechanical strength, which ensures that the material can withstand various physical forces without breaking or deforming. It is suitable for creating durable consumer goods, needing to endure everyday use without compromising on quality.
GPPS 1028 is highly recommended for the production of XPS (extruded polystyrene) sheets and plates, as well as extruded embossed sheets. Its excellent clarity and high heat resistance make it particularly suitable for applications that require both transparency and durability.
Additionally, it is approved for food-related applications, ensuring that products made from it comply with stringent migration requirements. Beyond food packaging, 1028 is also widely used in consumer goods like disposable cutlery, containers, and various household items.
