INEOS Styrolution 158K Hot Sale GPPS Resin

INEOS Styrolution 158K is a heat-resistant, rapid-freezing general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) grade produced by INEOS Styrolution.

Physical Properties

  • Density: As per ISO 1183, the material’s density is 1.048 g/cc (0.03786 lb/in³), reflecting its mass-to-volume ratio under standard conditions.
  • Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: At 23.0 °C (73.4 °F) and 50% RH per ISO 62, the equilibrium moisture absorption is ≤ 0.10%, indicating low humidity sensitivity.
  • Water Absorption at Saturation: Tested via ISO 62 at 23.0 °C (73.4 °F), saturated water absorption is ≤ 0.10%, showing minimal moisture uptake when fully immersed.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage: According to ISO 294-4, linear mold shrinkage ranges from 0.0030–0.0060 cm/cm (0.0030–0.0060 in/in), describing dimensional change during molding.
  • Melt Flow: Using ISO 1133, the melt flow rate is 3.0 g/10 min under a 5.00 kg (11.0 lb) load at 200 °C (392 °F), characterizing the material’s flowability during processing.

Polymer Properties:

  1. Base Material: General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS)
  2. Modification Features:
    • Heat – resistant for use in elevated – temperature scenarios.
    • Suitable for rapid – freezing conditions.

Applications:

  1. Packaging: Used for EPS packaging of electronics, with heat resistance protecting contents and rapid freezing speeding up production.
  2. Thermal Insulation: Applied in construction for insulation panels, blended with high-impact PS to withstand heat and stress.
  3. Consumer Goods: Employed for transparent, impact-resistant items like display cases, enhanced via blending with Styrolux for visuals and protection.
