FEATURES
Lightness and reduced logistics costs
The lightness of polystyrene improves logistics efficiency and reduces transport costs, benefiting companies looking to optimize their supply chain and reduce their CO2 emissions.
Thermal insulation and resistance
PS offers excellent thermal insulation and mechanical resistance, allowing its use in demanding environments without compromising durability or performance.
Recyclability and sustainability
Polystyrene is recyclable. The possibility of reusing this material after use helps to minimize the environmental impact and promote a circular economy.
Adaptability to constraints
PS transformation processes meet the rigorous requirements of the industrial and agri-food sectors, guaranteeing resistant products that comply with food safety standards.
WHAT IS POLYSTYRENE?
Basic polystyrene, called PS "crystal" for its transparent appearance, is a hard and brittle material that can be colored. By adding plasticizers or butadiene, we obtain a polystyrene called "shock", more resistant. This material is easily transformable, in particular by injection or thermoforming and has adjustable mechanical and thermal characteristics.
WHY USE POLYSTYRENE FOR YOUR PROJECTS?
Polystyrene is particularly popular in transformation processes such as plastic injection, thermoforming and extrusion due to its malleability and ease of implementation. It transforms quickly, allowing the production of complex parts and packaging with precise details, regardless of the technique used. In addition, its relatively low cost and recycling possibilities make it an economical and ecological choice for companies looking to combine performance and sustainability.
