Xarec

XAREC is the world's first syndiotactic polystyrene (SPS) resin. Idemitsu created this unique SPS product at our central research laboratories by combining a metallocene catalyst with a styrene monomer. The metallocene catalyst gives flexibility to the structure of the crystallized polystyrene SPS, allowing a variety of benzene ring arrangements. In addition, we have applied our advanced alloying and composite technology to greatly expand the commercial potential of XAREC as an engineering plastic. XAREC is not only a superior engineering plastic, but is also environmentally friendly. This combination makes it the first choice for many of our customers.
