HIPS

HIPS plastics are automobiles, electronic appliances, machinery manufacturing fields, etc. The use in the automotive field includes automotive dashboards, body panels, interior trim panels, steering wheels, sound insulation panels, door locks, bumpers, ventilation ducts, and many other components. In terms of electrical appliances, it is widely used in electronic appliances such as refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, air conditioners, computers, and copiers.
HIPS is one of the cheap engineering plastics. Compared with ABS, PC/ABS, and PC, the gloss of the material is relatively poor, and the overall performance is relatively poor. HIPS is modified by PS and butadiene, because PS The impact strength of HIPS is very low, and the products made are very brittle, but the toughness of butadiene is very good. After adding butadiene, the impact performance of PS can be increased by 2~3 times. Although the impact strength of HIPS is higher than that of PS The impact performance of HIPS is relatively low in engineering plastics, so we should pay attention to the inspection of the impact performance of the material when using this material.
Impact-resistant PS has easy processability, good performance and low price, so it is used to manufacture manufactured goods and industrial products for many purposes. The main fields of application are packaging and disposables, instrumentation, household appliances, toys and entertainment, and the construction industry.
The largest specific use of HIPS is as packaging and disposable materials, especially food packaging materials and eating tableware. Key applications include everyday packaging containers. Cups for vending machines and dispensing, various covers, plates, bowls, etc. Disposable items such as dishes, bottle caps, safety razors, pen holders, etc. are also part of the high consumption of HIPS.
In recent years, special products have become the focus of HIPS product development. Newly developed HIPS products can compete with engineering resins in some application fields, and some are of much higher quality than existing products. Instrumentation and consumer appliances are one of the growing markets for HIPS products, including small instruments, refrigerator inner walls and internal parts, television casings, air-conditioning components, business machines, and audio and video cassettes. Special-grade HIPS resins have replaced expensive engineering plastics in many fields, and HIPS with ultra-high impact strength and high temperature resistance can even be used as automotive interior components.
