Product analysis:
High-impact polystyrene HIPS 7240 is widely used in the extrusion industry. It is specifically designed to be blended with crystal polystyrene grades like GPPS 1240, 1340, or 1540. With excellent melt strength, HIPS 7240 is particularly well-suited for deep-draw thermoforming applications.
This grade is available in white and has a Vicat softening point of 94 (120°C,1 kg), a flexural modulus of 1750 (MPa), and an MFI of 4.5 (200°C & 5 kg). 7240 is supplied in pellet form and Tabriz Petrochemical Company produces this grade under the HS code 39031990.
- Good melt strength
It offers excellent melt strength, meaning it maintains its form and stability during the extrusion process. This property is crucial for deep-draw thermoforming applications, where the material must stretch into complex shapes without thinning or breaking.
- High impact resistance
It is designed for high impact resistance, meaning it can withstand mechanical stress. This attribute is essential in applications where the material may be subject to drops, pressure, or rough handling.
- Coextrusion capability
It can be effectively coextruded with other materials, such as EVOH and PE. This capability allows for the production of multi-layered sheets. It can combine the strengths of different materials, such as barrier properties and structural integrity.
HIPS 7240 is a versatile material used in both extrusion and thermoforming applications. In extrusion, it is commonly used for producing darty sheets and is coextruded with materials like EVOH and PE. It happens particularly when diluted with crystal polystyrene for industrial sheet applications.
In thermoforming, it is ideal for manufacturing various packaging products, such as cups, trays, egg boxes, and general packaging. Plus, when diluted with crystal polystyrene, it is also used in the production of CD inserts and shoe heels.
