Custom Polystyrene Extrusion (HIPS)
At Plastic Extrusion Technologies, we specialize in extruding custom high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) profiles engineered for strength, insulation, and long-term performance across numerous applications.
Why Choose High Impact Polystyrene for Your Plastic Extrusion Needs?
High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a versatile thermoplastic known for:
- Exceptional Impact Resistance – Engineered with rubber additives, HIPS offers superior toughness, making it ideal for applications requiring durability and resilience.
- Ease of Processing – With its low melting point and excellent flow properties, HIPS is easily processed through extrusion, thermoforming, and injection molding, facilitating efficient manufacturing.
- Cost-Effectiveness – As one of the most affordable thermoplastics, HIPS balances performance and economy, making it suitable for various applications.
- Excellent Machinability – HIPS can be easily cut, drilled, and machined, allowing for precise fabrication and customization in various industrial processes.
- Aesthetic Versatility — HIPS is naturally matte and easily printable. It accepts paints and adhesives well, making it suitable for applications requiring visual appeal and branding.
- Recyclability – HIPS is recyclable, aligning with sustainable practices and supporting environmental responsibility in manufacturing.
