HIPS

High impact polystyrene provides impact resistant solutions for a variety of applications, including printed graphics, refrigerator interiors, and bath ware. These sheets offer a good combination of dimensional strength, impact resistance and heat resistance. It is also non-toxic, odourless, and easy to produce and machine.

High impact polystyrene is a more durable plastic and these features make it a popular choice.
