Applications - GON Plastic Polystyrene Company
Application
1.Packaging:
- Used extensively for food packaging like disposable cups, trays, and containers.
- Protective packaging for electronics and appliances (e.g., foam inserts, packing peanuts) due to its cushioning properties.
Insulation:
- Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a common material for thermal insulation in buildings, as well as in packaging and shipping coolers.
- Insulation for refrigerators and freezers.
Consumer Products:
- Used in products like toys, CD/DVD cases, and household items such as containers and cutlery.
- Disposable items like cutlery, cups, plates, and razors.
Construction:
- EPS and Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) are used as lightweight, high-performance insulation materials in construction.
- Used in lightweight concrete and foam-core panels for energy-efficient buildings.
Medical and Laboratory Equipment:
- Polystyrene is used to produce Petri dishes, test tubes, and other lab ware because of its clarity and ease of sterilization.
Electronics and Appliances:
- Often used in components for televisions, computers, and other electronic devices due to its insulation properties.
TYPE OF Polystyrene (PS)
Polystyrene can be classified into different types based on its structure and the way it is processed:
General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS):
- Also called Crystal Polystyrene, it is transparent, rigid, and brittle.
- Used in applications where clarity and rigidity are required, like food containers, CD cases, and clear packaging.
High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS):
- This is toughened polystyrene with added rubber to improve its impact resistance.
- Commonly used in products like disposable cups, trays, refrigerator liners, and automotive parts.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
- Made by expanding beads of polystyrene, EPS is a lightweight foam with excellent thermal insulation properties.
- Used for packaging, insulation in construction, and as foam boards.
Polystyrene’s diverse classifications make it suitable for various industries, from packaging to construction.
High-impact polystyrene is a polystyrene resin that’s used in lower heat applications. As its name suggests, HIPS has high impact strength and good dimensional stability. HIPS is easy to thermoform and can be printed using Digital, Screen, Flexo and Litho inks. Several HIPS grades are designed to have exceptional resistances for specific end-use, such as in refrigeration liners, toilet seats and tanks, or disposables that require high environmental stress crack resistance.
While both GPPS and HIPS are considered low-cost, General-Purpose Polystyrene is the more cost-effective of the two polystyrenes. GPPS is brittle and has low-impact strength as well as less dimensional stability than HIPS. GPPS has a glass-like clarity that makes it popular in transparent food packaging, and it can be easily molded into different shapes. Because of this, GPPS is also a popular choice for plastic toy applications.GPPS is also often used in refrigerator trays, boxes, cosmetic packs and CD cases.

Polystyrene foam is also tough, and its porous matrix offers excellent impact resistance and shock absorption to protect products, making it ideal packaging for many applications, including protecting electrical components ranging from mobile phones to refrigerators.It is also specified for void filling and, at higher densities, can be used as the basis for road or railway embankments where traditional fill materials are too heavy. The advantage of this material in urban centers is that it can deliver large quantities of products more efficiently than hard-core materials, thereby reducing congestion and traffic.
