What's New Asaflex i Series

November 05, 2003

Asaflex™ i-350 — market launching
Product overview
The new Asaflex™ i Series represents a fundamental advance in thermal stability technology for clear styrenic resins. Asaflex™ i-350 grade is now available for the application as sheets with excellent Transparency along with outstanding Impact Strength, and high Thermal Stability.

 

Asaflex™ i-350 has
* Excellent Thermal Stability
* Superior Transparency in blend with polystyrene
* Retention of Impact-resistance characteristics in recycled blend,due to high Thermal Stability

The dramatically increased thermal stability of the Asaflex™ i Series is the result of advanced stabilizing technology developed by Asahi Kasei Chemicals, 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.
