Modifications to the degassing process have enabled Ineos Styrolution Antwerp to increase the purity of its food-grade high-impact polystyrene (HIPS).

By implementing relatively simple improvements, Antwerp-based Ineos Styrolution has more than halved the amount of residual monomer in its high-grade polystyrene products. Production Manager Daisy Snauwaert and the project team received Ineos Styrolution’s annual innovation award for this project.
