PS - Polystyrene Plastic Sample

Polystyrene (PS) is a versatile thermoplastic used in a wide range of applications due to its clarity, rigidity, and ease of processing. General-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is transparent and brittle, while high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) is modified with rubber to improve toughness and impact resistance.

Polystyrene is widely used in packaging, disposable cutlery, laboratory ware, and consumer products. In its foam form (commonly known as expanded polystyrene, EPS or Styrofoam), it is used for insulation, protective packaging, and food containers.

The material offers good dimensional stability, low cost, and excellent mouldability, making it popular in mass production.
