Butadiene rubber

V Global polystyrene production capacity in previous years, with an average annual growth of 75.5% from 8.7 million tons in 1990 to 18 million tons in 2003. Which increased more than twice during this period. This plastic, unlike other plastics, has no crystalline properties and is transparent. Ordinary grade polystyrene has good resistance to water absorption and excellent thermal and electrical insulation. With a global consumption of 14.7 million tons, this polymer accounts for about 9% of the consumption of basic polymers.
Indications

Disposable utensils, electrical appliances, watch and TV and radio bodies, sports appliances, toys, refrigeration insulation, refrigerators and home appliances.

GPPS is hard and transparent with excellent ductility. It should also be noted that this polymer is brittle in the unmodified state; In the industry and market, this polymer is also called crystal. Its most common use is in the production of disposable tableware, due to properties such as: Transparency, resistance to moisture absorption, odorlessness, electrical insulation, reasonable price and good molding properties have been widely welcomed. For this reason, GPPS is used in the manufacture of tools such as health, sports, automotive, home appliances, computers, razors, electrical, fans and..
