Styrolux ECO 3G55 B60

Styrolux® ECO 3G55 B60 is a clear styrene butadiene copolymer (SBC) used mainly in sheet extrusion and thermoforming applications. It is specifically designed for improved performance in blends with general-purpose polystyrene, providing parts with an excellent balance of toughness, transparency and economics. Because of the tendency of blocking, Styrolux® ECO 3G55 B60 is mainly used in inline thermoforming. Styrolux® ECO 3G55 B60 is difficult to print and decorate since it contains a microcrystalline wax.
Styrolux® ECO 3G55 B60 is a RSB compliant product leading to a 100% substitution of fossil-sourced styrene with an RSB-certified bioattributed styrene. Over its production lifecycle, Styrolux® ECO 3G55 B60 provides 74 % greenhouse gas savings compared to a fossil fuel equivalent. RSB Participant code: 2114.
