SAN TYRIL: A Transparent and Resistant Solution for Demanding Applications
SAN TYRIL, short for Styrene Acrylonitrile, is an amorphous plastic material with outstanding properties, widely used in industry for its visual appeal, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. This thermoplastic resin is composed mainly of styrene and acrylonitrile, in varying proportions depending on the grade, providing a unique balance between rigidity, chemical resistance, and transparency.

Key Properties of SAN TYRIL
Excellent transparency and gloss
SAN TYRIL is often chosen for its crystal-clear appearance, comparable to glass, and its high light transmission. It is ideal for applications where appearance matters.

Good rigidity and dimensional stability
Due to its amorphous structure, SAN exhibits high stiffness and maintains dimensional accuracy under load, making it suitable for precision parts in both technical and aesthetic applications.

Enhanced chemical and thermal resistance
The acrylonitrile component improves resistance to solvents, oils, fats, and alcohol. SAN TYRIL also withstands continuous use temperatures up to 95°C.

Ease of processing
SAN TYRIL can be processed using injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, or blow molding. Its thermal stability makes it adaptable to standard production lines.

Applications of SAN TYRIL
SAN TYRIL is used across various industries:

Food packaging: jars, lids, trays, and containers due to its neutrality and clarity.

Household appliances: handles, transparent bowls, and kitchen accessories.

Cosmetics and pharmaceuticals: bottles, caps, and cases resistant to solvents.

DIY and tools: rigid components requiring moderate impact resistance.

Office and furniture: displays, decorative panels, and presentation elements.

Competitive Advantages
Compared to PMMA (acrylic) or polystyrene (PS), SAN TYRIL offers:

better chemical resistance,

greater rigidity at room temperature,

a cost-effective alternative for semi-technical applications.

Environmental Aspects and Recyclability
SAN TYRIL is a recyclable thermoplastic. It can be reused as regrind material in new production batches, provided proper processing conditions are maintained. However, it is not biodegradable and should be carefully managed at end of life.

Conclusion
SAN TYRIL is a versatile and high-performing plastic material ideal for manufacturers seeking a transparent, strong, and easily processed resin. Its exceptional clarity and chemical resistance make it a cost-efficient and effective alternative to more expensive polymers across a wide range of technical and consumer applications.
