GPPS 1160

The versatility of GPPS 1160 makes it an essential material across various manufacturing sectors where performance and clarity are paramount.

Extrusion & Thermoforming

• Thick & Expanded Sheets: Excels in producing thick sheets via direct injection gassing, ideal for insulation boards and foam packaging.
• Bi-Oriented Polystyrene (OPS): A core material for creating high-clarity, rigid films and sheets used in packaging.
• Polymer Blending: Can be effectively blended with materials like HIPS 7240 to enhance sheet properties for thermoforming applications.

Packaging & Household Goods

• Food Packaging: Used to manufacture foam trays for fruit, meat, and egg boxes, as well as rigid cups and containers.
• Consumer Products: Ideal for high-gloss, transparent items such as shower cabinets, lighting thin films, and utensils.
