MS Resin Selection Guide: Wanhua vs Double Elephant – Properties, Grades Applications

In fields such as optical displays, high-end packaging, medical and cosmetic packaging, MS resin (methyl methacrylate-styrene copolymer), which combines excellent transparency with good processability, is becoming an ideal alternative to traditional materials. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of MS resin and compare the core products of two major global suppliers — Wanhua Chemical and Double Elephant — to offer professional guidance for your material selection.

I. MS Resin: Performance Advantages and Application Scenarios

MS resin perfectly balances the transparency of PMMA with the processability of PS. Its core advantages include:

• High Light Transmittance: Comparable to PMMA, reaching over 92%.

• Excellent Weather Resistance: Resistant to UV radiation, not prone to yellowing outdoors.

• Easy Processing: Suitable for various processes such as injection molding and extrusion.

Main applications include optical display light guide plates, LED lighting diffuser plates, high-end cosmetic packaging, medical devices, and transparent components for home appliances.
