The ZYLAR® family of impact-modified styrenic copolymers from NOVA Chemicals meets the needs of
molders for materials that deliver practical toughness, clarity and cost advantages. The specific
gravity advantage of ZYLAR® resins over competing materials, combined with lower processing temperatures
and better regrind utilization rates, result in lower per-part-costs for molders. ZYLAR 220 offers a
balance of clarity and strength that is perfect for most pen and pencil barrel applications. All ZYLAR
materials are available in pre-color. Other recent applications include an array of office
accessories, such as letter trays, hanging brackets, binder holders, document trays, universal shelves
and more.
