Ineos Nova Styrocell® M442C Expandable Polystyrene
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polystyrene (PS); Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Material Notes:	A high strength, fast cycling regular molding grade consisting of spherical polystyrene beads containing pentane as expansion agent, typically used for medium density foam. Applications: Styrocell M442C is used mainly for producing low/medium density block which is cut to make insulation board. Other applications include block used in construction and cut packaging. This grade complies with major European and US food contact regulatory regimes, including: European Community Directive 90/128/ECC, including 92/39EEC and 95/EC, relating to plastics materials and articles, intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. Dutch Food Packaging Regulations. Recommendations of German Federal Office of Health (BGA), now regulated by the new Institute of Consumer Health (BGVV), Empfehlung V. US Food and Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations title 21, sections 177.1640 (Polystyrene) and 178.3010 (Blowing Agents). Information provided by NOVA Chemicals.
