The most commercialized form of polystyrene is General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS). The polymer can be easily processed by injection molding, extrusion or thermoforming.
Commercial Grades. General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS); High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS); Expandable Polystyrene (EPS), in the forms of molded foam; expanded beads; and resins.
Uses. Polystyrene is mainly used in films for food packaging; electrical/electronic equipments; household equipments; injection-molded bottle caps; consumer goods; technical items; jars; containers; plastic pigments; and vacuum-formed box liners.
