The dramatically increased thermal
stability of the Asaflex™ i Series is the
result of advanced stabilizing technology developed
by Asahi Kasei, as the logical next step in
clear styrenics performance. It imparts far
higher thermal stability than the conventional
anti-oxidation technology, with no loss in the
high transparency and impact resistance of the
clear styrenic resin.
The i Series reduces thermal-history
gelation during processing, and the occurrence
of fisheye formations and scorching in the processed
plastic product. It also enables the use of
higher process temperatures in film and sheet
production, for higher production rates, and
eliminates the need for GPPS or other purging
resins in the event of prolonged equipment shutdown.
The end result is higher process productivity,
yield, and product quality.
