Technical Datasheet | Supplied by Resirene

Polystyrene-starch compound. Has excellent mechanical as well as thermal properties. Starch replaces 40% from oil-derived content. Can be processed in the same machinery than standard PS. Shorter cycles times means better productivity and lower temperature profile means energy savings. Used in disposables, pen barrels and cutlery.
