Test Method & Standard Properties


Data presented in this catalogue are typical values of properties for natural material and intended to serve as a
guide only. All tests are carried out as per ASTM D standard unless otherwise stated. Testing of all mechanical
properties is done with an injection molded specimen of 3.2 mm. In actual applications, properties can be
affected to a considerable extent by the mould / die design, the processing conditions and the colour.

Environmental

Supreme polystyrene resins can be recycled, incinerated or disposed off in landfill without detriment to the
environment. Adequate ventilation should be provided during processing. Where recycling of Supreme
Polystyrene is not possible, disposal to landfill or incineration in accordance with all applicable government laws
and regulations is recommended. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for Supreme Polystyrene resins are
available from Supreme Petrochem Ltd. MSDS are provided to help customers in their own handling, safety and
disposal needs and those that may be required for applicable health and safety regulations e.g. OHSAS 18001 and
ISO14000. Supreme flame retardant polystyrene grades contains additives which may release hazardous or toxic
vapors through lengthy or excessive exposure to high heat. Use suitable personal protective equipments.

Handling Precautions
While the handling of Supreme polystyrene pellets generally does not present unusual problems, a dust can be
formed under some circumstances. If persons are exposed to this dust, they should be protected from dust
inhalation by use of approved dust respirators. Contact with the skin and eyes should be prevented by use of
protective equipment and/or clothing. SPL recommends storing of polystyrene in cool & dry place in a shade
away from sunlight and heat. The packing used is not UV stabilised and hence should not be exposed to sunlight.

Exclusion of Liability

contained herein, Supreme Petrochem Ltd makes no guarantee or warranty, and does not assume any liability
with respect to the accuracy or completeness of such information or the product results in any specific instance
