High Impact Polystyrene is abbreviated as PS, or HIPS, is one of the most widely used plastics in the world. It’s inexpensive, and in its natural form it is transparent, however it can be easily colored. It is a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon polymer comprised from the monomer, styrene, and it is rather hard and brittle with a low melting point. HIPS is thermoplastic that is typically used in lower heat applications. High Impact Polystyrene is available as a foamed material, or solid. It is commonly used for packaging, and plastic cases. It is fully compliant with FDA regulations and standards for use in food and beverage processing.
