Microgranulates

Polystyrene microgranulates are spherical beads with a diameter of 0.2 – 1.0 mm. The products are additive free with a purity of 99,9%. Due to high surface to volume ratio and the excellent mixing properties, these products provide a number of advantages in the manufacturing process of compounds and masterbatches. Microgranulates are available as crystal and high impact grades.

 

At-A-Glance :

  • Polystyrene with high surface to volume ratio
  • Spherical particles, Average size: 200 to 1000 μm
  • Produced in a suspension polymerization process
  • Crystal and HIPS grades available
  • Food contact grades available
  • Due to high surface area
    • No additional grinding/re-packaging etc.
    • Better mixing and dispersion
    • Higher additive loading
    • Better homogeneity
    • Faster dissolving
  • Spherical particles; less agglomeration, easier processing
  • High purity
  • No thermal history
