General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) is a transparent thermoplastic polymer produced from the polymerization of styrene monomer. It is known for its clarity and rigidity. GPPS granules are used in various applications, including:
Disposable Containers: GPPS granules are processed into finished products through injection molding or extrusion at temperatures ranging from 190°C to 230°C. These finished products include disposable tableware, packaging, and other household items.
Sanitary Materials: GPPS is used to prepare sanitary products such as diapers and other hygiene-related items.
Construction Industry: GPPS-based plastics are used in construction materials, including insulation boards, left-in-place formwork, and sandwich panels.
Decorative Materials: GPPS is used for ceiling moldings, ceiling tiles, sound-absorbing elements, adhesive bases, and polymer concentrates.
Thin Films: GPPS can be processed into thin films (up to 100 μm or up to 20 μm when mixed with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymers). These films find applications in packaging, confectionery, and capacitor production.
Household Appliances and Electronics: High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and its modifications, which are based on GPPS, are widely used for body parts of household appliances and electronics.
Remember that GPPS offers transparency and ease of processing, making it suitable for various industrial and consumer applications. If you have any specific requirements related to GPPS, feel free to ask!
