A broad class of thermoplastics noted for their ease of processing and good balance of physical properties, Styrenics are used in a multitude of processes including compounding, extrusion and injection molding.

Improving flame retardancy is achievable primarily through incorporation of halogenated flame retardants and synergists for applications where UL 94 V-0 is required. Phosphorous based flame retardant systems are available for certain less rigorous flammability requirements. The styrenics can be alloyed with other polymers such as PPO and PC. These alloys broaden the range of flammability requirements achievable with phosphorous-based flame retardants.
