It can also be radiation sterilized. When modified by incorporating elastomers, polystyrene homopolymer turns into (high) impact polystyrene or HIPS, which is usually opaque. As a result, a wide ...

HIPS stands for High-Impact Polystyrene. It extrudes at the same temperature as the ABS (235C) and adheres well to a heated bed kept at 115C. ABS will be unaffected by the hydrocarbon solvent ...

When modified by incorporating elastomers, polystyrene homopolymer becomes (high) impact polystyrene (HIPS), which is generally opaque. Therefore, a large number of polystyrene grades are available on ...
