PS Polystyrene
Polystyrene (PS) | Original Raw Material
Polystyrene is a hard, glass transparent and glossy thermoplastic obtained by polymerization of styrene. It has high dielectric properties, low water absorption and good dimensional stability. It is odorless and can be easily colored. It is resistant to acids, bases, alcohols, oils and salt solutions. Commercial forms are available in high impact (HIPS) and crystalline (GPPS) varieties.
