HIPS
(High Impact Polystyrene) is a
water-white thermoplastic produced
by the polymerization of styrene
(vinyl benzene). The electrical
insulating properties of polystyrene
are outstandingly good and the
material is relatively unaffected
by moisture.
HIPS is made by dissolving the
rubber in a styrene monomer and
then polymerizing the styrene
in the usual way. Material properties
of HIPS strongly depend on the
content and particle size of rubber,
bonding strength between rubber
and matrix, and homogeneity. Generally,
the rubber content of impact polystyrene
is around 3% and the size of rubber
particles is 1-5%. HIPS retains
higher rubber content from 5 to
15% to increase impact strength,
thus making it useful for products
requiring such properties. In
addition, due to high heat resistance
and fluidity, products can be
made by various processing methods
such as injection molding, extrusion,
vacuum forming and blow molding.
