1 Discover a highly transparent Thermoplastic for eye-catching Applications: STYROLUX 3G46 1

2 Requirements in the Packaging Industry Styrolux 3G46 Visibility High transparency and gloss Good practical use Balanced toughness and rigidity, haptic Processing Easy, efficient and versatile in processing Cost Reduction Low density, packaging with reduced weight 2

3 Clear Thermoplastics in Packaging Styrolux 3G46 SBC in combination with GPPS covers a broad range of properties hence competing with PET, PVC Heat Deflection Temperature [ C] 150 PC 120 GPPS SAN 90 MABS Acrylics PVC 60 SBC PP PET Stress at yield [MPa] 3

4 Styrolux a Global and Innovative SBC Product Line Global presence: Antwerp/Belgium 2 production sites with a combined capacity of mt Styrolux Reliable and fast delivery in all regions Altamira/Mexico Innovation Continous research and market development since more than 25 years 4

5 Styrolux : Key Features Styrolux 3G46 Styrolux offers a unique combination of glass-clear transparency, brilliance and high toughness Styrolux is designed for blends with general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) - to achieve excellent clarity, low haze - to balance stiffness and toughness - to achieve optimal, cost-effective solutions - to allow for trouble-free processing and no drying Styrolux does not contain plasticizers, chlorides or halogens 5

6 Styrolux : The Key Features (cont d) Low density: Another advantage of Styrolux that increases cost-effectiveness. Same film thickness 1 in 2 1,3 in 2 = +30% With Styrolux /GPPS you get up to 30% more film PVC or PET-film compared to PET or PVC! density: [1.34 g/cm 3 ] [1.02 g/cm 3 ] Styrolux film 6

7 Styrolux 3G 46: New and highly transparent Grade for Extrusion and Injection Molding Transparency 656 C 3G D 3G 55 Toughness Injection molding Extrusion/Thermoforming Mechanical properties and GPPS-efficiency of Styrolux 3G 46 are close to Styrolux 684 D. 7

8 Styrolux 3G 46: Key Benefits Outstanding Clarity High transparency in blends with GPPS Extremely low haze in blends with GPPS Transparency [%] 90 Haze [%] D 3G D G Content of GPPS [%] Content of GPPS [%] 8

9 Styrolux 3G 46: Key Benefits Well-balanced Stiffness/Toughness Relation Well-balanced combination of rigidity and toughness Elongation at break [%] Recommended blend ratio from 20 to 40% GPPS G D Content of GPPS [%] 9

10 Styrolux in Processing Easy: no pre-drying needed On commonly used equipment for cast or blown film line extrusion, thermoforming and injection molding Efficient: High throughput-rates in extrusion Short cycle times in injection molding and thermoforming Low wear-and-tear in cutting and trimming Versatile: Decorating, printing, coloring, sealing, welding finishing and further processing steps are easy Many recycling options: Production scrap can be reused with no loss of quality or can be used as impact modifier for styrenic polymers. 10

11 Styrolux : The Applications Rigid packaging items: cups, trays, boxes, blister packaging and displays with high dimensional stability and great visual appeal Thin and flexible films: For shrink applications and labelling, twist films for packaging and wrapping Injection moldings: Toys, medical devices, sanitary, cosmetics and office equipment 11

12 Styrolux 3G 46: Designed for Applications that call for a sophisticated Look Due to the improved properties, Styrolux 3G 46 is especially suited for high transparent blister packaging or for up-scale displays. 12

13 Styrolux 3G 46: Case Study - Blister Packaging Project with Illig Maschinenbau and Co. Knapp (Germany) Example 1 Thermoformed blister hot-sealed on printed cardboard Thermoforming film: Styrolux 3G 46/GPPS-blend 13

14 Styrolux 3G 46: Case Study - Blister Packaging Project with Illig Maschinenbau and Co. Knapp (Germany) Example 2 Full-plastic blister with inlaid card Thermoforming film: Styrolux 3G 46/GPPS-Blend Sealing film: thin Styrenics film 14

15 Discover a highly transparent Thermoplastic for eye-catching Applications Summary Styrolux The SBC from BASF Highly transparent, rigid and tough Low density very competitive Easy to process and versatile Blends of Styrolux with GPPS: Balance stiffness and toughness to meet technical requirements Good transparency and surface gloss Further reduction of part costs Styrolux 3G 46 the new high transparent grade: Big advance in clarity and low haze especially in blends with GPPS Ideal choice for demanding applications Significant cost savings e.g. in blister packaging compared to other clear resins 15
