STYRON X-TECH™ 2175

Generic Family: Polystyrene, High Impact • Supplied by: Trinseo
STYRON X-TECH™ 2175 is an environmental stress crack resistant (ESCR) HIPS resin especially developed for thermoforming and extrusion, especially for the refrigeration industry, the production of inner liners for fridges and freezers. Based on patented Trinseo technology, this resin allows potentially 5 % down gauging of the average sheet extrusion thickness for thermoforming of the inner liners, through its unique combination of ESCR, rigidity and melt strength.

Main Characteristics
  • Allows for downgauging
  • ESCR to food stuff and hydrocarbons
  • Ease of processing in extrusion and thermoforming
  • Excellent thermoforming behaviour
  • Increased rigidity

Applications
  • Large appliances / refrigeration liners
  • General extrusion/thermoforming applications requiring ESCR

Complies with
  • Europe Regulation (EC) 10/2011
  • FDA, 21 CFR 177.1640
  • Consult the regulations for complete details.
