Luran® 2555

  • Luran® 2555: Designed for ABS compounds and masterbatches, with high flowability for easy processing.

INEOS Styrolution announced today the launch of a new Luran® grade specifically designed to offer customers high flowability for easy processing. The new Luran 2555 complements the already existing strong portfolio of industrial SAN[1] materials.

Luran 2555 is intended for compounding and for masterbatches. In particular, the high flowability[2] of the new material stands out and, given the material’s chemistry, it makes Luran 2555 a material of choice for ABS compounds.

Luran 2555 is addressing primarily the European market. It is produced in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

Erik Fetter, Commercial Product Manager/ Market Development Manager, Advanced Styrenics EMEA, says: ”Our SAN solutions feature a well-balanced property profile ranging from good transparency and excellent chemical resistance to high stiffness, extraordinary heat resistance as well as very good dimensional stability. Luran solutions are ideal for a broad range of applications across automotive, construction, electronics, household, healthcare, and packaging. Luran 2555 nicely complements the existing product range with a very high flowability.”
