Styrenics in the Kitchen
The inner linings of fridges and freezers are typically made of products
such as ABS or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), where toughness, chemical
resistance and stiffness are all required. Where transparency is a requirement,
such as for the transparent compartments found within these appliances SAN
can be used. For items such as microwaves,
cookers and extraction units for cooking odours (kitchen range vent), styrenic
plastics are more likely to be used just as components such as buttons and
dials. In smaller articles such as mixers and blenders, the housing, the
exterior components and the accessories can all make good use of the properties
available from styrenic plastics.
