HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)
What is HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)?
HIPS is an abbreviation for High Impact Polystyrene, is a form of polystyrene (PS) that carries with it a higher impact strength. Homopolymer PS can often be brittle, and can be made more impact resistant if combined with other materials. HIPS typically is produced by adding around 5-10% rubber or butadiene copolymer. This increases the toughness and impact strength of the polymer and results in a very ideal product for many applications.
UNINKO Modified HIPS compounds series includes flame retardant grade, reinforced grade, weathering resistant grade, antistatic grade, Electromagnetic Shielding (EMI) grade, etc broad range, with excellent performances, and widely used in home appliances, electronic appliances, automobile industries.
