About Polystyrene. Polystyrene (a.k.a. PS, Thermocol) is a high molecular weight polymer produced from monomer styrene. It has a wide range of applications, being therefore one of the most produced polymers worldwide. The most commercialized form of polystyrene is General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS). It is a hard, rigid and highly transparent material, with good chemical resistance. It can be easily processed by injection molding, extrusion or thermoforming.
Chemical Formula. (C8H8)n
Commercial Grades. GPPS (General Purpose Polystyrene); HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene); EPS (Expandable Polystyrene).
Uses. As thermoplastics, Polystyrene molding materials, mainly PS and HIPS, are processed by injection molding, extrusion, or thermoforming, in diverse areas of application such as packaging, technical items, household and consumer goods. It is presented below examples of materials made from Polystyrene. * Packing of dairy products and pharmaceuticals * Technical items: housings for television, computers, printers, electrical appliances, sanitary ware. * Household and consumer goods: toys, containers, furniture, disposable tableware. * Other Applications: injection-molded bottle caps, jars, containers, plastic pigments, vacuum-formed box liners.
Raw Materials & Production Processes.
