HIPS is a low cost plastic material that is easy to machine and fabricate |
|
|
HIPS is often specified for low strength structural applications when impact resistance, machinability, and low cost are required |
|
|
It is frequently used in machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue |
|
|
Natural (translucent white) HIPS is FDA compliant for use in food processing applications |
|
|
The following physical property information is based on typical values of the base high impact polystyrene resin |
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
High impact strength and flexural modulus |
|
|
Provides excellent forming detail, rigidity, and gloss |
|
|
May be obtained from co-extrusion |
|
|
Extremely versatile in nearly all thermoforming operations from high volume, multi-station rotary machines to single and shuttle presses |
|
Forming temperatures of approximately 275°F - 350°F |
|
|
If proper procedures are followed, it can be sawed, drilled, routed, punched, or die-cut with conventional tooling |
