GPPS 1460

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

  1. Disposable Tableware: GPPS 1460’s transparency, moisture resistance, and molding properties make it perfect for items like cups, trays, and cutlery.
  2. Sports Equipment: Its lightweight nature and moldability allow for simple toy and novelty item production.
  3. Stationery and Office Supplies: GPPS 1460 appears in pen bodies, rulers, and trays.
  4. Insulation Board (XPS): Used for insulation boards and foam sheets.
  5. Fruit Trays: GPPS 1460 contributes to food and fruit trays.
