The Kautex Maschinenbau company, a renowned maker of blow-molding systems, has recently produced intricately shaped bottles using this styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) on a high-performance extrusion blow-molding machine. BASF launched this plastic as a blow-molding brand onto the market in early 2008.
- We were surprised to realize how easy it is to process Styrolux by extrusion blow-molding. The transparency and high stiffness of this plastic are impressive - says Markus Holbach, head of the Kautex Maschinenbau technical laboratory in Bonn, Germany.
Kautex Maschinenbau GmbH, a firm headquartered in Bonn, Germany, is a global manufacturer and designer of extrusion blow-molding systems. With over 50 years of experience, this company has been highly instrumental in the development of blow-molding technology.
