A single-site catalyst, such as metallocene, is used to create the semicrystalline polymer known as syndiotactic polystyrene resin SPS from styrene monomer. SPS products display performance characteristics that are notably different from those of amorphous styrenic materials due to their semicrystalline composition.
Performance characteristics of SPS products differ greatly from those of amorphous styrene materials. High melting point, excellent chemical and moisture resistance, and high degree of dimensional stability are some of these characteristics.
The global syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS)resin market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The first syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) resin in the world is XAREC. At the primary research laboratory, Idemitsu combined a metallocene catalyst with a styrene monomer to generate this distinctive SPS product. The versatility of the metallocene catalyst allows for a multitude of benzene ring configurations in the crystalline polystyrene SPS.
Additionally, they have significantly increased the commercial potential of XAREC as an engineering plastic by utilizing our cutting-edge alloying and composite technologies. In addition to being an excellent engineering plastic, XAREC is also sustainable. For many clients, it is the top pick due to this combination.
Aspects of XAREC include XAREC has a better hydrolysis resistance than polyester- and polyamide-based resins, on par with polyphenylene sulfide. XAREC is extremely resistant to corrosion caused by different acids and alkalis, and it can survive antifreeze and motor oil. XAREC minimizes the weight and cost of parts by having one of the lowest specific gravities of any engineering plastics on the market.
XAREC can be used for wave and reflow soldering since it has a long-term heat resistance of 130°C, a heat distortion temperature of 250°C, and a melting point of 270°C. Additionally moisture resistant, XAREC is helpful for surface mount chip connections and parts.
