INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, announced today the launch of its latest ABS grade, Lustran® 532, developed for easy processing, medium gloss, and a stable colour base for self-colouring. This new grade is specifically designed for furniture edge band applications and complements the company’s existing range of medium gloss extrusion ABS grades.
Lustran® 532 is produced at INEOS Styrolution’s production site in Wingles, France, where ABS production has been operational since 2021[1]. The Wingles facility specialises in mass ABS manufacturing, delivering high-quality extrusion materials across the EMEA region. The new grade's consistent performance and enhanced processability make it ideal for demanding extrusion applications.
“We are excited to introduce Lustran® 532 as part of our growing ABS portfolio. This grade offers an ideal combination of medium impact resistance and superior aesthetics for applications like furniture edge bands,” said Loic Poullin, Business Development Manager ABS, EMEA. “Produced at our Wingles site, it ensures a reliable, high-quality solution for customers in the extrusion market.”
INEOS Styrolution’s ABS extrusion solutions cover a broad spectrum, addressing various demands from low to high gloss, medium to high impact resistance, and thermoformability. These grades serve multiple applications such as sheets, edge bands, pipes, and profiles.
