, and costs provide an excellent balance for cost-effective applications. Crystal-clear SMA resins can be pigmented to produce a wide range of transparent, translucent, or opaque colors. Best results are obtained with master batches or concentrates using SMA or polystyrene as the carrier resin. Properties
