Claray

Claray refers to a specific type of plastic material. It is a brand name for a clear, rigid thermoplastic made from polystyrene. This material is known for its excellent clarity and high gloss, making it suitable for applications where transparency is important. Claray has a good balance of stiffness and impact resistance, though it can be brittle under certain conditions.

The manufacturing process for Claray typically involves extrusion or injection molding. Its properties allow it to be easily formed into various shapes. Common uses for Claray include packaging for food and consumer goods, display cases, and components for electronic devices. Its transparency allows consumers to see the product inside packaging, enhancing its appeal.

While Claray is a polystyrene-based material, it may have specific additives or processing techniques that differentiate it from general-purpose polystyrene. These variations can affect its performance characteristics, such as improved scratch resistance or UV stability. Like other polystyrene products, Claray is generally recyclable, though its specific recyclability can depend on local recycling infrastructure and the presence of any additional components. It is considered a cost-effective material for many manufacturing needs.
