SB – Styrene butadiene

SB: Styrolux

Typical applications

Food and consumer packaging

• Fruit and vegetable containers: Transparent packaging with holes that you see in stores (e.g. for strawberries, blueberries or raspberries) because it withstands impacts during transport.
• Lids for dairy products: Flexible and transparent lids on pots for sour cream, cottage cheese or yogurt.
• Candy packaging: Hard, aesthetic boxes for chocolates and candies that need to look prestigious and clean.
• Meat trays: Thermoformed trays that are resistant to low temperatures in refrigerators.

Shrink films and labels

• Labels on bottles: SB is used to produce high-quality shrink films that adhere tightly to complex bottle shapes (e.g. for juices, cosmetics) and allow printing over the entire surface.
• Group packaging: Strong transparent films that bind multiple products together into a package.

Medicine and pharmacy

• Infusion systems: Parts of drip chambers and connecting elements where it is crucial to see the flow of liquid and air bubbles.
• Laboratory equipment: Test tubes, Petri dishes, cuvettes and sample containers that must not burst when dropped or centrifuged.
• Inhalers and syringes: Medical device housings that must withstand sterilization (gamma rays or ethylene oxide).

Products for home, office and toys

• Office supplies: Transparent rulers, pencil stands, drawers and ballpoint pen cases.
• Toys: Transparent blocks (e.g. some puzzle components), housings for children's electronic toys and parts of play sets that must be safe from breaking into sharp pieces.
• Screens and enclosures: Transparent front panels on household appliances (e.g. washing machines, coffee makers) or electronic devices.

Technical and industrial parts

• Visors and safety glasses: Basic protective visors where good optical clarity and basic impact resistance are required.
• Filter housings: Transparent housings of water filters or air filters where it is necessary to visually check the filter for dirtiness
