Polystyrene film: the superhero among plastics
Welcome back to the plastics knowledge category. Today in the spotlight: polystyrene film. This amazing film has so many impressive properties that you could almost compare it to a superhero.
Dimensional stability: The Captain America of films
You could be forgiven for thinking that polystyrene film was modeled on Captain America’s shield because it is so dimensionally stable. This property makes it the ideal material for applications where a stable shape is important. Whether for packaging, displays or technical components – polystyrene film always keeps its shape and cannot be bent. A real superhero!
Impact resistance: The Hulk of films
When it comes to impact resistance, polystyrene film is the Hulk of plastics. It can take a beating and still remain intact. Impacts and blows bounce off it like ping-pong balls off a wall. This impressive property makes it particularly popular in the automotive and electronics industries. After all, you don’t want the material to be damaged at the slightest impact!
Freedom of design: The Mr. Fantastic of plastics
Polystyrene film offers unparalleled design freedom. It is so flexible that it can be shaped into any conceivable form – just like Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four. Whether round, square, corrugated or flat – this film does it all and looks good too. This is particularly practical for designers and engineers who want to give free rein to their creativity. It can be pulled into the deepest and most complicated shapes without losing stability. This feature makes it ideal for the production of packaging and technical parts where precise shapes are required.
Very good thickness tolerance: The precise Ant-Man
Polystyrene film has a very good thickness tolerance, which makes it the Ant-Man of plastics. It always remains accurate to the point and maintains the desired dimensions, no matter how small or large it is. This precision is particularly important for technical applications where exact dimensions are essential. Polystyrene film leaves nothing to be desired!
RoHS and Reach: The environmentally conscious superhero
Of course, with all these superpowers, the environment must not be forgotten. Polystyrene film is RoHS and REACH compliant, which means it is environmentally friendly and safe to use. A true eco-conscious superhero who not only saves the world, but also takes care not to pollute it.
Variety of colors: The colorful joker
Polystyrene film is available in a wide range of colors and really brings color into play. This is particularly practical for design projects and applications where visual accents are important. A real colorful joker among plastics! The polystyrene film can also be ordered as mother rolls or ready-made – it is available in any desired shape. This makes it a versatile all-rounder that adapts perfectly to your needs. Whether large quantities for production or small batches for special applications – polystyrene film is always on hand.
Bottom line
Polystyrene film is the superhero among plastics. With its dimensional stability, impact resistance, design freedom, good thermoforming properties, very good thickness tolerance and environmentally friendly properties, it masters every challenge. And all this in a wide range of colors and delivery options. If you are looking for a true all-rounder that will successfully complete any mission, then polystyrene film is the perfect choice. Ready for the next mission? Polystyrene film is ready to go!
