GPPS 1460
Description
GPPS 1460 Supplier in Iran for High Heat Extrusion Applications
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.

Why Choose Shobeir Shimi for GPPS 1460?
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.
Applications of GPPS 1460
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.
Ideal B2B Partners and Industries
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.
