1.HIPS has superior elongation and impact strength
2.The starex HIPS, which possesses superb thermal stability, undergoes little color and property change with temperature variation.
3.HIPS resin is resistant to various kinds of chemicals, such as water, alkalis, weak inorganic acids, and most kinds of salts.
4.Good insulation capacity, very good high frequency insulation material, good arc resistance.
5.Polystyrene is a material with super high transparency, has a shiny surface. Easy to print.
6.Polystyrene has the ability to self-color, no odor, no toxic odor, not for bacteria growth.
