Optimal Grades for ESCR HIPS

Asahi Kasei has developed new grades that are ideal for ESCR HIPS, which offers excellent oil resistance. Our high-quality products are low in impurities and gel, and contribute to improved thermal stability and gel suppression.

Optimal Grades for ESCR HIPS

Achieving Excellent Oil Resistance

Asahi Kasei has developed new grades that are ideal for ESCR HIPS, which offers excellent oil resistance. The high styrene solution viscosity (SV) enables us to produce larger particle sizes of synthetic rubber in HIPS. ESCR HIPS is used for refrigerator interiors and more. Our high-quality products are low in impurities and gel, and contribute to improved thermal stability and gel suppression.
