What is HIPS plastic?

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is a kind of polystyrene material with high impact strength. It is characterized by good hardness, toughness and mechanical strength, but also has good heat resistance and electrical insulation properties. HIPS materials are usually made from a mixture of polystyrene and high-strength modifiers and other additives.

What is HIPS plastic roll?

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) rolls are impact-resistant polystyrene products made by adding polybutyl rubber to styrene. This polystyrene product joins polystyrene and rubber particles together by adding micron-scale rubber particles and grafting them together. When impacted, the tip stress of crack propagation will be released by the relatively soft rubber particles. Therefore, the crack propagation is hindered and the impact resistance is improved. In addition to its excellent impact resistance, it also has most of the advantages of PS, such as good rigidity, easy processing, high product gloss (gloss 85%), easy coloring, but its tensile strength and transparency are reduced.

What are the characteristics of HIPS plastic rolls?

HIPS plastic rolls have the following characteristics:

1. High impact strength: HIPS plastic rolls are a kind of material with high impact strength, which can withstand large external forces and is not easy to break.

2. Good molding performance: HIPS plastic rolls have good fluidity and thermal stability, and are easy to process and form. It can be processed into various shapes and sizes by injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, etc.

3. Good electrical insulation performance: HIPS plastic rolls have good electrical insulation performance, suitable for electronic devices, electrical equipment and other fields of application.

4. Good heat resistance: HIPS plastic rolls have a certain heat resistance and can maintain the stability of their physical and chemical properties within a certain temperature range.

5. Easy to dye: HIPS plastic rolls are easy to dye, and products of various colors can be achieved by adding appropriate pigments.

HIPS plastic rolls can be used in which packaging industries?

HIPS plastic rolls can be used to manufacture a variety of furniture, food packaging boxes, crisper boxes and a variety of electronic components of the product tray.
