Polystyrene (PS)

Polystyrene which has desirable characteristic such as good mould ability ,low moisture absorption, good dimensional stability ,good electric insulation properties ,color ability and reasonable chemical resistance, is widely used as an injection molding and vacuum forming material . Polystyrene is classified into three main categories:

1) GPPS (General purpose Polystyrene also called crystal)

2) HIPS (High impact Polystyrene)

3) EPS (Expandable Polystyrene)
