GPPS 1460

GPPS 1460 is a General Purpose Polystyrene, also known as crystal polystyrene, produced by Tabriz Petrochemical Company. The grade is designed for extrusion and thick-walled injection molding, and is characterized by a high molecular weight and comparatively high heat resistance within the GPPS family, reflected in a Vicat softening point of 98°C and an HDT of 80°C.

Shobeir Shimi supplies GPPS 1460 as a GPPS supplier in Iran, sourcing directly from Tabriz Petrochemical Company and supporting international buyers with current technical documentation, including the GPPS 1460 datasheet, MSDS, and Certificate of Analysis. The grade is commonly used by plastic converters running sheet extrusion lines and by manufacturers producing rigid, thick-walled components through injection molding.

Buyers evaluating GPPS 1460 price and availability, or requiring the official datasheet for quality control purposes, can contact our team directly for current specifications and export terms.

Shobeir Shimi acts as a supplier, trader, and exporter of GPPS 1460 — sourcing the grade from Tabriz Petrochemical Company rather than manufacturing it directly. Our role in the supply chain includes:

• Consistent Sourcing: Ongoing procurement from Tabriz Petrochemical Company to support reliable order fulfillment.
• Technical Documentation: Access to the current TDS, MSDS, and COA for each shipment, supporting quality control and compliance checks on the buyer’s side.
• Export and Logistics Support: Coordination of international freight, export documentation, and shipping arrangements for cross-border orders.
• Technical Assistance: Support in confirming whether GPPS 1460’s documented properties match a buyer’s intended process before an order is placed.
• Related Polymer Grades: Ability to consolidate GPPS 1460 orders with other polystyrene and polymer grades from our portfolio, where relevant to the buyer’s sourcing needs.

Based on the producer’s application group classification and the grade’s documented mechanical and thermal properties, GPPS 1460 is used in:

• Sheet Extrusion: The high molecular weight and heat resistance of GPPS 1460 support its use in extrusion processes for rigid polystyrene sheet.
• Thick-Walled Injection Molding: The grade’s mechanical strength (tensile modulus of 4100 MPa, flexural strength of 85 MPa) and heat resistance make it suitable for rigid, thick-section injection-molded components.

GPPS 1460 is a general purpose polystyrene, and specific process variants — such as foamed sheet extrusion, direct gas-injection processes, XPS foam board production, or food-contact packaging — are not confirmed in the available producer documentation for this grade. Buyers considering these applications should confirm suitability directly against the current TDS and, where relevant, applicable food-contact or regulatory documentation from Tabriz Petrochemical Company before committing to a specific process or end use.

GPPS 1460 is intended for industrial-scale converters working with rigid, general purpose polystyrene. Relevant B2B partners include:

• Sheet Extrusion Companies: Plastic converters producing rigid polystyrene sheet.
• Injection Molding Companies: Manufacturers producing thick-walled, rigid plastic components.
• Plastic Converters: Facilities processing GPPS for general industrial or consumer goods applications.
• Polymer Distributors: Regional distributors sourcing GPPS grades for resale into converter markets.

All tests are carried out at 23°C unless otherwise stated. If injection-molded product quality is affected by moisture, GPPS 1460 granules can be dried at 70°C for 2–4 hours.

The values shown are typical values provided by the manufacturer and are intended for reference only. They should not be interpreted as guaranteed specifications. Buyers should refer to the latest manufacturer TDS and COA for current specifications.

• Standard Packaging: GPPS 1460 is supplied in 25 kg bags.
• Pallet Configuration: Bags are arranged 55 per wooden pallet (1,375 kg per pallet) and shrink-wrapped to maintain integrity during transit.
• Storage Recommendations: Granules should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated warehouse, protected from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture.
• Export Logistics: Shobeir Shimi arranges export-ready packaging suitable for FCL ocean freight or international road transport.
