The high strength, good molding, combined with the ability to recycle with its dimensional and temperature
stability, color fastness, adhesion and printing ability, have made HIPS one of the major polymers in electrical applications, building materials and general merchandise. HIPS as a non-crystalline polymer has various properties of PE, PP and other polymers. With respect to the molecular structure, changing the degree of crystallisation does not significantly change the properties and dimensions of HIPS. In addition, polystyrene with low melt viscosity is not easily degraded by heat, process, thermoforming and sponge formation. HIPS sheets have excellent thermal and thermal resistance and excellent imaging. In addition, it is possible to process the sheets with different molding methods.
Product Specifications:
HIPS sheets are manufactured in the following standard dimensions:
Length: 1800 mm
Width: 1200 mm
Thickness: 2-8 mm
According to the production conditions, it is possible to supply the product according to the wishes of respectable customers.
In general, HIPS sheets are produced in white and black colors. It is possible to produce custom colors if it is to the tune of the standard company.
Physical and mechanical properties:
The physical and mechanical properties of the raw materials used in the production of HIPS sheets are as follows:
| Test Method | Value | Unit | Property |
| ASTM D 1238 | ۴٫۵ | g/10 min | MFI |
| ASTM D 792 | ۱٫۰۴ | g/cm3 | Density |
| ASTM D 1525 | ۹۷ | ̊C | Vicat Softening Point |
| ASTM D 256 | ۱۱ | Kj/M2 | Izod Impact |

Applications:
۱٫ Advertising boards
۲٫ Disposable tableware
۳٫ Hygiene
۴٫ Refrigerated interior cabinets (those HIPS sheets that are used for the interior of the refrigerator are resistant to puffiness factors such as: R11, R141b and cyclopentane.)
