Overview

GPPS (General Purpose Polystyrene) is a thermoplastic resin with high molecular weight of 200,000-300,000. Such high molecular weights enhance the impact strength. Its transparency is comparable to PMMA. Furthermore, its excellent processability and mechanical properties make it widely used. Transparency, residual monomer content, and molecular weight are important factors to determine material properties and should be considered when selecting a grade.
Characteristics
  • Excellent mechanical properties, transparency, heat resistance, moldability, and coloration
  • Electrical insulation characteristics
  • Extremely good effect of frequency
  • Non-toxic resin that generates only a small amount of gas during the molding process.
  • Superb scratch resistance and fluidity
  • Outstanding processability not only for injection molding but also for OPS (oriented polystyrene) and PSP (polystyrene paper)
