Innovative styrenic specialty solutions




INEOS Styrolution was established in 2011 as a joint venture of INEOS and BASF. Three years later, in 2014, the company became a wholly owned company of INEOS. This move resulted in a number of benefits for the organization, which included, for example, an easy access to upstream supplies. Today, INEOS Styrolution is determined to support the success of their customers in their respective markets, to give them a competitive edge.
Based on a strong R&D network together with leading universities and research institutions, INEOS Styrolution strives to develop innovative solutions – in many cases in direct cooperation with the customers, bringing together industry expertise and detailed knowledge of chemical engineering.
The company’s roots go back more than 85 years resulting in a wealth of skills and expertise related to styrenic solutions. Today, INEOS Styrolution successfully focuses on styrenic speciality solutions for a number of focus industries including automotive, healthcare, packaging, electronics, household and construction.
The following customer applications demonstrate the focus on innovative speciality solutions.
In the automotive industry, INEOS Styrolution has been closely aligning with the development departments of several premium brand car manufacturers in Europe and in Asia to introduce solutions based on the hot stamping technology. The technology provides a finish similar to chrome plating and can be applied regardless of the surface colour, reducing mounting complexity as well as costs on decoration processes and tooling.
“The new hot stamping technology has been adopted by many OEMs worldwide to create high quality and aesthetic front grills. The technology does not only allow new designs but also reduces manufacturing cost. Luran S is the material of choice since it offers an excellent surface quality that cannot be achieved by other materials,” commented Christophe Ginss, sales director, automotive EMEA with global coordination role. – Luran® S is INEOS Styrolution’s acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) copolymer brand of choice for unpainted exterior applications. It offers outstanding properties for long-term use and for a high-quality surface appearance. In particular, it offers weathering stability for outdoor applications even when unpainted.
