Akestra™ is a remarkable plastic with a sparkling glass-like
appearance that is sure to enhance both disposable and reusable
packaging.
It can be used as a polystyrene alternative for heat
resistant thin wall containers, a polycarbonate alternative for
durable "dishwasher proof" transparent products, and a glass
alternative for hot-fill food containers.
The high glass transition
temperature, combined with its amorphous and high strength
properties make it not only a superior alternative in food and
non-food contact packaging, but also a material that can be easily
combined with other plastics to improve their properties too.
