Abstract

L'invention concerne un produit de mélange de copolymère de polystyrène, produisant une combinaison optimale de brume/clarté, résistance, solidité/rupture, et des propriétés organoleptiques. Le produit de mélange de copolymère de polystyrène comprend une première couche formant environ (2) à environ (6) pour cent en poids du pourcentage en poids total du produit. La première couche comprend environ (95) à environ (100) pour cent en poids de GPPS ou HIPS, par rapport au poids de la couche. Le produit de mélange de copolymère de polystyrène comprend une deuxième (et en option une troisième et une quatrième) couche(s) qui forment environ (98) à environ (94) pour cent en poids du produit. La deuxième (et en option la troisième et la quatrième) couche comprennent environ (23) à environ (43) pour cent en poids de GPPS, de soit environ (35) à environ (70) pour cent en poids, par exemple d'environ (50) à environ (65) pour cent en poids de SBC, et d'environ (0) à environ (17) pour cent en poids de HIPS, par rapport au poids de la couche respective.
