Rubber-modified polystyrene with increased impact resistance.
Choose a grade to suit your processing method and application.
Toughness for everyday products.
HIPS combines polystyrene with rubber to improve impact resistance. It is used in molded parts and extruded sheet, with performance depending on the selected grade and processing conditions.
Typical applications
- Consumer electronics and automotive parts
- Prototyping and thermoformed sheets
- Refrigerator liners and appliance parts
- Rigid packaging and trays
Grade selection depends on the intended application and required properties.
