New HIPS Resins Beef Up Thermoformed Packaging.Two new Styron A-Tech advanced HIPS extrusion resins from Dow Plastics, Midland, Mich., offer improved properties for thermoformed packaging and food-service items. Styron A-Tech 1260 boasts exceptional ESCR ESCR Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights ESCR embryonic stem cell research ESCR Environmental Stress Cracking Resistance ESCR Electronic Social Care Records (UK) ESCR European Society of Cardiac Radiology ESCR Elementary Stream Clock Reference resistance to food fats and oils. It is aimed at lids, bowls, and portion containers for foods such as coffee and soup. Also new is Styron A-Tech 1220, which offers improved container stiffness without sacrificing toughness. It offers opportunities for downgauging in cold-drink cups, portion containers, plates, bowls, and lids. The resin has a Vicat temperature of 221 F, MFR MFR, n See myofascial release. of 3.3 g/10 min, and ultimate elongation elongation, in astronomy, the angular distance between two points in the sky as measured from a third point. The elongation of a planet is usually measured as the angular distance from the sun to the planet as measured from the earth. of 45%. Its notched Izod impact strength of 2.1 ft-lb/in. and tensile tensile, adj having a degree of elasticity; having the ability to be extended or stretched. yield strength of 3600 psi are said to exceed those of the leading high-stiffness HIPS. The new resin also reportedly generates less trimming dust. |
