Polystyrene HIPS
(High-Impact Polystyrene)
High-Impact Polystyrene is a low-cost plastic material that
is easy to machine and fabricate. It is often specified for
low-strength structural applications when impact resistance
is required. Because of its dimensional stability and ease
of painting and gluing, HIPS is frequently chosen for machining
pre-production prototypes. In its natural (translucent white)
form, HIPS is FDA-compliant for use in food-processing applications,
but it is also available in custom colors.
