Styrene Copolymers
Polystyrene and Copolymers Combine Aesthetics with Technical and Sustainable Properties
The aesthetically and mechanically outstanding properties of styrene polymers are extensively enhanced by different blending partners. New developments include weather-resistant grades, laser surface structuring and fiber reinforcement. The newly founded “Styrenics Circular Solutions” industry association recently started a chemical recycling initiative for polystyrene.
