Thin, but Tough Opaque Packaging

Our next-generation STYRON A-TECH polystyrene resins are used in thin-wall containers for semi-liquid foods, such as margarine tubs and yogurt cups. Package toughness, resistance to flex cracking, and seal integrity are among the key requirements for this segment, and STYRON A-TECH achieves them all - while offering better processing ability for more unified wall thicknesses to achieve efficient material use through light weighting.

If you're looking to downgauge your packaging or improve your cycle times - then STYRON A-TECH polystyrene may be the right choice. Our STYRON A-TECH 1200 is regarded as the best-in-class high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) material, combining excellent toughness and high stiffness, which makes it the preferred resin for many packaging and food service applications.
