CHIMEI KIBISAN® SAN Product Guide
If your next application requires a transparent polymer with high stiffness and good chemical resistance, then consider CHIMEI KIBISAN® SAN. KIBISAN® offers high clarity, high stiffness, excellent chemical resistance, dishwasher resistance and easy processability. CHIMEI KIBISAN® is the clear choice!
CHIMEI KIBISAN® SAN is a transparent copolymer of styrene and acrylonitrile. The styrene portion provides for clarity, stiffness and good processability while the acrylonitrile portion provides hardness, stiffness, heat resistance and excellent chemical resistance and dishwasher resistance. KIBISAN® is available with various melt flow rates for use in injection molding and extrusion, which are the most common processing methods used to convert KIBISAN® into the different application parts.
Common markets for KIBISAN® include automotive, housewares, appliances, healthcare, cosmetics, and sanitary products as well as other industrial markets. Specific applications for KIBISAN® include:
- Battery Cases
- Water Filter Housings
- Housewares (Pitchers, Tumblers, Trays, Mugs)
- Cosmetic Containers
- Toothbrush Handles
- Towel Bars, Soap Dishes, Toilet Paper Holders
- Blender Jars, Food Processors, Pitchers, Refrigerator Butter Doors
- Urine Meters, Diagnostic Cassettes, Suction Canisters
- Automotive Instrument Panel Lenses
- Carrier Resins for Color & Additive Concentrates
Compared to many other transparent polymers, KIBISAN® offers better chemical resistance, better processability and higher stiffness while maintaining high clarity. Because of its excellent dishwasher resistance, KIBISAN® makes an excellent material choice for housewares that will routinely be cleaned in the dishwasher.
