HIPS

High Impact PolyStyrene

• 8350

Product Description:

HIPS 8350 is a very high impact polystyrene used in the extrusion industry. This grade has an improved environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) in comparison with standard high impact polystyrene grades. It is recommended for the production of packaging intended for products likely to cause stress cracking (e. g fats and oils). HIPS8350 retains good mechanical properties at low temperatures making this grade suitable for frozen food packaging and for the production of fridge liners in contact with HCFC expanded foam insulation.

Applications:

• Extrusion Sheet for thermoforming, fridge doors and cabinet liners. It is suitable for fatty foods packaging.

Typical Data (Table):

Density of this grade is approximately: 1.04 gr/cm Shrinkage of this grade in mould is approximately: (0.4-0.7%) (ASTM D 955) All tests are carried out at 23 °C unless otherwise stated. The above data are typical laboratory average. They are intended to serve as guides only. Licensor: Total Packing: 25 Kg plastic bag

• 7240

Product Description:
HIPS 7240 is a very high impact polystyrene used in extrusion industry. This grade is designated to be diluted with crystal polystyrenes (such as GPPS 1240, 1340 or 1540). The good melt strength of this grade makes it particularly suitable for deepdraw thermoforming. HIPS 7240 is available in white color.
Applications:
Extrusion: Darty sheet. Co-extrusion with EVOH PE…, in dilution with crystal industrial sheets.
Thermoforming: Cups; Trays; Egg boxes; General packaging. Diluted with crystal for CD inserts, Shoe heels.
