HIPS Resin

HIPS (high-impact polystyrene) for refrigerator liners, appliance parts, trays and thermoformed packaging. Send an RFQ.

HIPS grades

HIPS is polystyrene toughened with polybutadiene rubber. It is opaque, easy to thermoform and much tougher than GPPS, at a lower cost than ABS.

Grades differ in rubber content (impact strength), gloss and resistance to fats and blowing agents.

8 grades from 5 producers. Values are typical, from each producer's data sheet; open a grade for full specifications.

General purpose: Thermoformed trays, toys and stationery.
High gloss: Appliance housings and visible parts.
ESCR grades: Refrigerator liners and inner doors exposed to fats and foam blowing agents.

Usually no drying needed. Typical melt temperature 190–240 °C for molding; sheet extrusion for thermoforming at a similar range.

HIPS or ABS?

HIPS is cheaper and easier to thermoform; ABS has higher gloss, scratch resistance and chemical resistance.
