Material Update:
The global availability of Styrene is currently limited due to damaged production resources in the supply chain. Because we work with multiple suppliers as a normal business practice, we have numerous options that can be a great (or sometimes superior) substitute. We’re happy to walk you through the possibilities! Call us today to discuss your needs & let us find a material solution for you.
Description:
Styrene provides a good balance of strength, stiffness, toughness, and colorability. Available as a natural colored, colorable compound.
