Terluran® ABS Resins

Terluran is Styrolution’s proprietary range of ABS moulding resins manufactured in ultra-modern, automated plants for consistent batch-to-batch quality.

Features of ABS general Purpose Grades

Terluran® ABS resins are specifically designed to provide a very broad physical property range with very good processing characteristics. The materials have exceptionally light natural colour with excellent colour stability and colour consistency. Terluran ABS resins offer the following performance characteristics: low pigment effect on mechanical properties, high gloss, quality consistency, processing versatility and high heat grades. These products are produced globally with the same technology and with the same end product specifications.

GP-22	Terluran GP-22 is an easy flowing grade of ABS for injection moulding with high resistance to impact and heat deflection. View Properties
GP-35	Terluran GP-35 is a very high flow grade of ABS for injection moulding with good resistance to impact and heat deflection. View Properties

Features of ABS High Heat Grades:

Terluran HH is a modified form of ABS meeting stringent needs of thermally stressed components. ABS can be coated easily and lends itself easily to chromium plating, ideal for decorative articles in consumer, automobile and engineering sectors. ABS has high mechanical strength, is tough and durable and retains dimensional stability besides possessing good electrical insulation properties.

ASA – Styrene Acrylonitrile Copolymer

Luran® S is the brand name for Styrolution’s styrene acrylonitrile copolymers that have been impact-modified with acrylic ester rubber. The Luran® S grades and their blends stand out for their resistance to weathering, for their high ageing stability and good resistance to chemicals. As a result, Luran® S is suitable for components that are exposed to rain, wind and weather but nevertheless have to exhibit a particularly high quality over the long term.

The Luran® S brands offer a broad spectrum of extraordinary properties.

Luran S finds wide use in engineering, consumer and general purpose moulding of small and large articles. It is ideal for:

SAN

Under its brand name Luran®, Styrolution offers SAN, a product that has been used for years now in many applications in the household and sanitary sectors, for packaging cosmetic products as well as for electronic and office articles. Luran®’s extraordinary properties include its excellent transparency and good resistance to chemicals. Moreover, Luran® stands out for its high stiffness, dimensional stability and resistance to fluctuating temperatures.

In the cosmetics sector, Luran® Crystal Clear is the ideal plastic for exclusive and highly transparent packaging. Its high-quality, brilliant surface, which is easy to print on, and its suitability for coloring (transparent and muted colors) make Luran® Crystal Clear the material of choice among designers. Features:

Luran® GF – the glass fiber-reinforced Luran® – is particular well-suited for many technical applications. This material can go into the manufacture of precision parts inside computers and accessories, as well as into applications in conveying technology and machine construction.

Styroflex

Styroflex 2G66 is a styrene-butadiene based transparent, elastic copolymer. It is excellent for film extrusion and injection moulding due to its high thermal stability and processing characteristics. Styroflex is ideal as an additive to improve toughness and impact resistance of polystyrene moulded articles with general improvements in stress and crack resistance at low temperatures. When used in the right proportion it increases the toughness to stiffness ratio of impact resistant polystyrene moulded articles. It is also generally used to increase compatibility between styrenes and polyolefins, enabling blends of Polyethene and Polystyrene. It lends itself easily to injection moulding, profile extrusion and film extrusion.
