Polystyrene Impact 8265 is a high ductility polystyrene for extrusion application.
It offers excellent environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) at low temperatures, rendering it suitable for frozen packaging while retaining good mechanical properties. In comparison with traditional HIPS, it has better cyclopentane resistance, which makes it suitable as refrigerator liners.
