General Purpose Polystyrene 1460
GPPS 1460, also known as crystal polystyrene, is a high heat-resistant and molecular-weight polymer. It finds applications in extrusion and thick-walled injection molding. Here are some key features:
- Transparency: GPPS 1460 boasts excellent transparency (up to 88%-92%), making it ideal for various applications.
- Mechanical Properties: It provides high stiffness and good dimensional stability.
- Food Contact Approval: GPPS 1460 is safe for food-related uses.
- Production: It’s particularly useful for thick sheet production via direct inject gassing, resulting in expanded sheets with impressive mechanical properties.
Applications of GPPS 1460
- Disposable Tableware: GPPS 1460’s transparency, moisture resistance, and molding properties make it perfect for items like cups, trays, and cutlery.
- Sports Equipment: Its lightweight nature and moldability allow for simple toy and novelty item production.
- Stationery and Office Supplies: GPPS 1460 appears in pen bodies, rulers, and trays.
- Insulation Board (XPS): Used for insulation boards and foam sheets.
- Fruit Trays: GPPS 1460 contributes to food and fruit trays.
