Zylar 960

The product line Zylar® comprises blends from styrene, butadiene and methylmethacrylate copolymers (MBS). The blends are highly transparent, tough and show a good chemical resistance. Depending on the application, they can be a low density alternative for polycarbonate, PET-G or transparent ABS (MABS). The grades are suitable for medical applications, food contact statements are available upon request. Zylar®960 is the grade with the highest toughness at still high transparency.
