Curious about what MS is in our RESERVE line? Here's everything you need to know.
MS, also known as Methyl Methacrylate Styrene, is a versatile type of plastic that blends the qualities of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and styrene. It’s a popular alternative to traditional acrylic due to its unique features, making it ideal for a variety of applications, especially in the drinkware industry.
Key Features of MS:
- Clarity and Transparency
- MS offers impressive clarity and transparency, comparable to PMMA. This makes it perfect for products where a clear, glass-like appearance is key.
- Impact Resistance
- While not as strong as polycarbonate, MS has better impact resistance than regular acrylic. This added durability is great for everyday use, especially in environments where products need to withstand a bit more wear and tear.
- Lightweight
- One of the advantages of MS is its lightweight nature, making it easy to handle and use. This is especially important for products like reusable cups, where portability and ease of use are essential.
- Weather and UV Resistance
- MS holds up well against weather exposure and UV light, meaning it won’t yellow or degrade easily when exposed to sunlight. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor events, poolside drinks, or any setting where it needs to shine (literally and figuratively!).
- Cost-Effective
- Typically more affordable than alternatives like Tritan, MS is a popular option for products that need to balance both transparency and cost-efficiency. It’s a practical solution that doesn’t compromise on style or function.
At TOSSWARE, we love MS because it’s a fantastic material that’s both durable and budget-friendly. It’s perfect for everything from poolside sips to bustling cafés—anywhere you need a shatterproof glass that still looks and feels amazing in hand. Cheers to drinkware that meets your every need!
