What is HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene)?

HIPS is a versatile thermoplastic material modified from standard polystyrene by incorporating an elastomer. This unique composition creates a two-phase system where rubber is dispersed in a continuous polystyrene matrix. The result is a material that combines excellent impact resistance with ease of processing. HIPS has become essential in various industries, thanks to its balance of durability and manufacturability.

What is HIPS Vacuum Forming?

Vacuum forming is a manufacturing process that involves heating a thermoplastic sheet until it becomes pliable, then forming it over a mold using vacuum pressure. HIPS vacuum forming takes advantage of the material’s properties, allowing for the production of lightweight, strong, and precise components. This method is particularly beneficial for creating large parts with simpler geometries while maintaining a high level of detail.
