HIPS SR600 is a high-performance high impact polystyrene (HIPS) resin with outstanding impact resistance and good thermal resistance. It features stable dimensional performance and excellent moldability, suitable for injection and extrusion molding. This multi-purpose grade is widely used in food contact products, daily necessities, home appliances and electronic accessories.
High Impact Resistance
Delivers excellent toughness and anti-shock capacity, effectively resisting impact, extrusion and drop damage during production, transportation and use. It prevents cracking and deformation, greatly improving finished product durability.
Good Thermal Resistance
Maintains stable mechanical properties and structural shape under normal temperature fluctuation. It resists softening and warping caused by heat, adapting to daily alternating hot and cold usage conditions.
