High-impact polystyrene with improved properties
Plastics processors benefit from the new material in a number of ways. Firstly, better melt rheology makes molding easier, especially where long flow paths are involved. Secondly, high gloss finishes are still possible at reduced mold temperatures. And finally, short cycle times add to the economics of molding through cheaper molding costs.
High-impact glossy polystyrene is used for producing refrigerator interior fittings, sanitaryware and for many home appliances for which a smooth, high-gloss surface finish is important. Examples include vacuum cleaner housings, telephone casings, office articles and children's toys.

Topic world Rheology
Rheology deals with the flow behavior and deformation properties of materials. In the chemical field, it is indispensable for understanding the consistency, viscosity and elasticity of liquids, gels and solids. Whether formulating paints, producing polymers or optimizing food textures, rheological properties influence how substances react, move and feel.
