When looking for higher strength polystyrene materials, we have to focus on PS HI or High Impact Polystyrene. A material chemically modified by the addition of polybutadiene, which allows it to achieve higher strength to withstand even mechanical forces. But, if you want to know more about its use, we invite you to consult us.
Characteristics of PS HI
It is a material that has harder and more solid qualities, therefore, it is not a transparent polymer. Thus, it is used for products that require a higher level of rigidity, while maintaining a certain capacity for elasticity. It is also a plastic that has certain qualities to absorb impacts.
- Better impact resistance than unmodified polystyrene.
- Opaque, due to the addition of polybutadiene.
- Can be processed by the forming methods used for thermoplastics.
- Copies mould details with high fidelity.
But, if we want to know the type of materials where this type of polymer can be used, it is enough to check lids that help in the sealing of resistant plastic containers and boxes. It is also used in other types of materials such as toys and capsules.
High Impact Polystyrene
Plásticos Alser, as a company specialising in the use of recycled plastic. We produce products that have the levels of fluidity and resistance against loads and impacts for any kind of requirements. In this way, we ensure quality products for daily or industrial use.
