High Impact Polystyrene Sheet, often referred to as HIPS sheet, is a thermoplastic material made from elastomer-modified polystyrene. The two-phase system, consisting of a rubber phase and a continuous polystyrene phase, has evolved into an important polymer commodity in the world. This versatile product has a wide range of impact properties and processing properties, giving it a wide range of applications, such as for use in the automotive, appliance, electric products, furniture, housewares, telecommunication, electronics, computers, disposables, pharmaceuticals, packaging and entertainment markets.
Characteristics
- 1,Good impact properties
- HIPS has good impact ABSorption properties and can be used to manufacture a variety of impact-resistant products.
- 2,Good processing performance
- HIPS can be processed by injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding and other processing methods, easy to operate and can be produced in large quantities.
- 3,Good surface decorative properties
- HIPS surface smooth, flat, easy to carry out a variety of surface treatment, can make a variety of colours, patterns of products.
- 4,Good weathering performance
- HIPS has good weathering performance, not easily affected by the environment, can be used for outdoor products.
- 5, odourless, tasteless, hard material, good dimensional stability after forming.
- 6,Excellent high dielectric insulation.
Application
Manufacture of shells and components for automobiles, instruments, electric products, furniture, household utensils, telecommunication, electronics, computers and other industries. Packaging materials for disposable and pharmaceutical products. Related products for the entertainment market. In addition, HIPS is used to make low-foam sheets that have wood-like workability and can be used in areas such as packaging, furniture and building materials.
Although HIPS sheets offer many advantages, such as dimensional stability, good impact strength, and rigidity, their major disadvantages include poor heat resistance, poor oxygen barrier, relatively low UV stability, and low chemical resistance.
So we would recommend you to use ABS sheet. Jiangsu compound has been producing plastic sheet for eighteen years, ABS sheet, HIPS sheet, pc sheet, pp sheet are our regular products, you can ask us any questions about plastic sheet.
