Toys

Trinseo collaborates with some of the world’s highest profile toy manufacturers to develop the best materials solutions to enhance children’s learning and fun. We strive to understand and exceed key requirements of high-quality product performance, optimal functionality, rugged toughness, soft haptics, and vibrant colors by designing with the end use in mind.

A preferred choice of toy manufacturers is STYRON™ A-TECH Polystyrene. This is due to its high impact resistance, attractive aesthetics, and durability – qualities that enable manufacturers to produce attractive, safe, and affordable premium toys.

Many of Trinseo’s TPE and bioplastics solutions are recognized in the toys and gadgets industry for their customized properties and consistently high quality. Our EVA-based expanded compounds APIZERO™ and APIFIVE™ are particularly suitable because of their lightness and ease of transformation. These compounds meet the rigorous requirements and standards of European Standard 10/2011 CE and FDA.
