Zylar®

Products

MBS

Zylar® clear impact modified styrene acrylic copolymers offer practical toughness, excellent clarity, and superior processing over competitive materials such as polycarbonate and copolyesters. In spiral flow tests, Zylar resins flow the same distance as polycarbonate at significantly lower temperatures. This leads to higher productivity, lower energy consumption and less moulded-in stress.
