PS (Polystyrene)

PS is a colorless‑transparent thermoplastic and one of the general‑purpose plastics with relatively high transparency. Core features: good optical performance with light transmittance over 90%. Rigid and glass‑hard yet brittle, it has low impact strength and tends to crack easily. It offers excellent processability and electrical insulation with low molding shrinkage and reliable dimensional stability. Its main disadvantages are poor heat resistance (long‑term service temperature generally ≤ 80 °C) and unsatisfactory weather resistance, susceptible to aging‑caused yellowing.

Main Applications

Daily‑use goods & packaging: disposable tableware including plastic cups and lunch boxes, transparent CD/DVD cases, stationery (rulers, pen holders), toys and food‑packaging containers.

Electrical & electronic products: instrument housings, lamp shades, insulating films and high‑frequency capacitor components.

Construction & thermal insulation: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS, commonly known as styrofoam) is an important lightweight building material for wall thermal insulation, sound insulation and cushioning packaging materials.

Please specify your additional requirements for impact resistance, gloss level, flame retardancy, heat resistance, environmental compliance, surface pits and other physical‑property parameters.

MOQ: 1 ton upon successful sample testing. After‑sales: return and replacement for quality‑related defects.
