Styrolux® 3G46 can be blow molded
Styrolux® 3G46, highly transparent SBC plastic grade, lends itself
very well to blow molding. Recent tests by BASF demonstrated that Styrolux®,
a plastic that so far has been used primarily in extrusion and injection molding,
can be processed on all customary blow molding systems. It is also easily dyed,
printed, glued and welded.

Save costs with Styrolux® 3G46
The processing temperatures are lower and the cycle times are shorter in comparison
to the conventional materials. The material does not have to be pre-dried, thereby
saving even more costs. In comparison to established transparent materials used
for this method such as PVC, PET G or PC, Styrolux® is 30 percent lighter in
weight and easier to process by extrusion blow molding (EBM) as well as by injection
blow molding (IBM).
Different types of transparent hollow objects such as storage containers, decorative
vessels, sports drink bottles and dispensers can be manufactured cost-effectively,
especially bottles with integral handle.

Combine excellent mechanical & optical properties
Styrolux® 3G46 has a combination of outstanding mechanical and optical
properties: the high impact resistance and breaking strength, along with the high
transparency and the exceptional gloss, make it a very economical alternative to
create attractive bottles with integrated handles.
