“The new Terraloy products are the first polystyrene/starch blends that make it possible to effectively substitute for 100% HIPS in many applications,” says Edwin Tam, manager of new strategic initiatives. “While starch acts like a filler in conventional blends with HIPS and is incorporated through techniques that cause a dramatic fall-off in physical properties, the proprietary technology employed for Terraloy products disperses TPS in the host polymer in a unique morphological form that minimizes property losses.”
Terraloy BP-18003A compound is ready to process and requires no change in the tooling used for 100% HIPS processing. The recommended letdown ratio for Terraloy MB-18003A masterbatch is 1:1. —[email protected]
