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 ...

High-impact polystyrene (HIPS) nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding two grades of organoclays (Cloisite 10A (C10A) and Cloisite 30B (C30B)) in a Haake internal mixer or a corotating ...

ABS plastics require higher mold surface temperatures ... during manufacture. High-temperature molding improves its heat and gloss resistance, but lower-temperature molding produces ABS materials with ...

High impact polystyrene contains rubber. It is less transparent than GPPS. It is mainly used for products that require high-impact resistance. HIPS has a standard flow but is less glossy than GPPS.

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 ...
