An industry

Lars is Chief Architect for the largest home construction project ever in Scandinavia, a whole new to build on neighborhood made from scratch. Not only does he need to balance cost, high quality and aesthetics in his plans, he must also incorporate state-of-the-art energy saving materials. Styrenics give Lars that combination of durable performance and affordable flexibility, so that every family can feel more comfortable and warmer in their new home.

“What are the unique properties of styrenics that make them so attractive to the construction industry?”

Desirable commercial properties

Some of the reasons styrenics are becoming the polymers of choice for the construction industry: Laying new foundations In the construction industry, trends in global production and In every global market for construction, the value chain is Lower consumption are driving demand for new materials: ones that becoming substantially more complex. For everything from Temperature enable enhanced endurance, greater affordability, increased aesthetics and haptics to the bottom line, the only fixed density Exceptional fluctuation choice and better color retention. Meanwhile, increasing wealth point is change itself. resistance is creating new consumers, as well as fuelling a desire for weathering Lower Wide customized products. In addition, transformations in work and CO2 emission lifestyle are reshaping living patterns, while regulation and resistance range of innovation are making performance a watchword for everyone. Excellent aesthetics colors Durable High Superior gloss color impact Affordable innovation fastness strength retention Styrenics are a family of unique polymers with a broad range of INEOS Styrolution is a worldwide leader in styrenics and a High stiffness Easy to process applications – from decking, automotive trim and laser printers, reliable ­global supplier of styrenic solutions for construction Dimensional to inhalers, refrigerators and toys – making styrenics one of ­applications. As a result, INEOS Styrolution has a deep Good chemical stability the world’s most important . The balanced understanding of the variety of needs at different points in the performance of such properties as excellent aesthetics and true construction value chain, as well as expertise in environmental resistance Good heat color consistency makes styrenics attractive to designers and concerns, regulatory standards and financial pressures. With a Cost-effective investment manufacturers at every level. Their superior processing abilities long-term commitment to innovation, INEOS Styrolution offers Simple to color resistance also make changes in design or lower volume production opportunities for product co-development right from the Scratch simpler and more cost-effective – one big reason styrenic first draft of a new idea. This is backed by significant resources Good UV resistance resistance solutions are being used in ever more applications for the dedicated to the development of construction solutions for High modulus construction sector. tomorrow, to meet the global challenges of today.
