MOSCOW (MRC) -- Styron, the global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and rubber, offers a complete portfolio of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene products under the MAGNUM ABS Resins brand name, according to the company's press release.
Customers have relied on this material for decades because of its noticeable advantages.
The difference between Styron’s product and its competitors’ material is in the manufacturing. Styron’s MAGNUM ABS resins use continuous mass polymerization technology, as opposed to an emulsion process. This ensures superior lot-to-lot consistency in properties and performance, low gel, and a superior natural whiteness.
The aesthetic finish of the material is also low gloss, as opposed to the high gloss obtained from emulsion polymerization. Customers have found that this is perfect for non-commodity-type, high end applications.
The Styron ABS business has traditionally supported the automotive industry where customer demand values the characteristics of the material -- such as a premium finish on the trims in the interior of a vehicle.
Most recently Styron’s global ABS business has expanded to include non-automotive sectors as consumers seek a premium appearance in items such as equipment housings for medical devices, cabinetry for consumer electronics and home furnishings, opaque sheet and furniture.
Thus, in February 2013, Styron introduced several new resins for medical equipment enclosures. These materials complement Styron's portfolio for enclosures providing resins that result in an economical system cost. The new advanced resins are EMERGE PC/ABS 7700 blend, which provide a well-balanced, cost-effective solution for powered medical devices offering ignition resistance and color stability over time, and MAGNUM 2642 MED and MAGNUM 8391 MED ABS resins, which are manufactured in a continuous mass production process that offers superior lot-to-lot consistency, exceptional natural resin whiteness, and excellent processing characteristics.
Styron is a leading global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex and rubber, dedicated to collaborating with customers to deliver innovative and sustainable solutions. Styron’s technology is used by customers in industries such as home appliances, automotive, building & construction, carpet, consumer electronics, consumer goods, electrical & lighting, medical, packaging, paper & paperboard, rubber goods and tires. Styron had approximately USD 5.5 billion in revenue in 2012, with 20 manufacturing sites around the world.
