Contact SupplierHigh Impact Polystyrene Sheet (HIPS) is a lightweight, cost-effective and terrifically versatile material which is highly receptive to thermoforming and printing. High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a rubber modified version of General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS). It exhibits much higher impact strength and in sheet form is easily fabricated and vacuum formed. It is a very versatile material and provides a cost-effective route to the production of parts for many industrial sectors.
Typical examples of suitable applications are Point of Sale displays, handling trays, in-store promotional signs, model making, bespoke enclosures and housings, packaging, tile moulds and many other diverse applications.
Â
Often used to create portable and high-quality signage, it is also a popular choice of material for the fabrication of prototypes in a number of industries. Benefitting from up to seven times the impact strength of general purpose polystyrene, HIPS sheet produces highly durable finished products and white high impact polystyrene is also FDA approved for food contact.
HIPS sheet is unmatched in its high-performance combination of versatility, dimensional stability and ability to accommodate printing and painting; it is very easy to see why it is such a popular and widely used material.
