Description
Product Name: T-SV 0157
Description:
T-SV 0157 is a styrenic terpolymer (ABS) grade with enhanced toughness compared to HIPS grades. It shows low shrinkage, good dimensional stability, and high melt strength, making it ideal for extruded sheet production and applications requiring considerable size and thickness.
Applications:
- Panels for large appliances
- Thermoformed items such as hot tubs
- Recreational vehicle parts
- Refrigerator liners
Drying Recommendations:
- Prior to processing, drying is advised in a desiccant dehumidifying hopper dryer.
- Inlet air dew point of -20°F (-29°C) or below is recommended to achieve a moisture content of 0.1%.
- Typical drying conditions:
- 2 hours at 180° – 190°F (82° – 88°C).
- 4 hours at 160° – 170°F (71° – 77°C) if lower temperature is preferred.
