GRADES AND SELECTION CRITERIA

PS — GPPS and HIPS

Variants to distinguish

GPPSCrystal polystyrene for transparency, stiffness and easy processing.
HIPSHigh-impact polystyrene to improve toughness in packaging, consumer and technical applications.
Extrusion / thermoformingSheet and packaging require a balance of processability, thickness and final properties.
Injection mouldingParts and components are selected according to flow, impact and finish.

What we review before proposing a grade

  • GPPS vs HIPS
  • impact / transparency
  • MFI
  • thermoforming
  • contact and appearance
We work with different producers and origins depending on application and availability.
