Styrolux 3G46, a new, highly transparent type in its range of styrene-butadiene block copolymer plastics is being marketed by BASF for packaging and displays, as it combines toughness and transparency so effectively that it is particularly well-suited for extruded blister packaging or visually striking presentation displays. Thermoformed products as well as injection molded parts can be manufactured with even greater transparency than has been possible so far.
In blends with standard polystyrene (GPPS), the new product remains highly transparent, even with GPPS contents of up to 40%, imparting such cost-effective mixtures with good tensile strength while still attaining excellent stiffness.
