GPPS 1540: High-Clarity Polystyrene for Efficient Extrusion & Molding

GPPS 1540 is a high-performance, easy-flowing general purpose polystyrene, expertly engineered for extrusion and injection molding. This crystal polystyrene grade stands out with its excellent fluidity and a superior softening point compared to similar grades. Ideal for creating high-gloss layers and improving thermoforming cycles when blended with HIPS, GPPS 1540 is also a food-contact-approved material, making it a versatile choice for demanding applications.

Key Applications of GPPS 1540

This grade’s unique properties make it a preferred choice for manufacturers requiring aesthetic appeal, thermal stability, and processing efficiency.

Extrusion Applications

  • Glossy Layer Co-extrusion: Perfectly suited for creating a high-gloss, premium surface finish on extruded sheets.
  • Impact Dilution: Effectively used to modify the properties of other polymers.
  • Performance Enhancement: When blended with super high impact polystyrene (HIPS 7240), it significantly improves extruder output and reduces thermoforming cycle times.

Injection Molding Applications

  • Packaging Articles: Produces clear and rigid containers, boxes, and trays.
  • Medical & Labware: Widely used for manufacturing petri dishes, test tubes, and other disposable lab equipment.
  • Consumer Goods: Ideal for refrigerator crisper boxes, office equipment, and pen barrels.
  • Food Containers: Approved for food-contact applications like cups, containers, and disposable cutlery.

Features and Benefits of GPPS 1540

GPPS 1540 delivers a range of technical features that translate directly into tangible advantages for plastic processors.

  • Feature: Excellent fluidity and easy-flow crystal nature.
    • Benefit: Achieve smoother, more efficient processing, which boosts extruder output and shortens cycle times for greater productivity.
  • Feature: High softening point (Min 89.5°C).
    • Benefit: Create more durable products with enhanced thermal resistance, suitable for applications requiring stability at elevated temperatures.
  • Feature: Designed for high-gloss co-extrusion.
    • Benefit: Manufacture products with exceptional surface gloss and clarity, enhancing visual appeal and market value without secondary finishing.
  • Feature: Approved for food contact applications.
    • Benefit: Safely produce packaging and containers for the food and beverage industry, ensuring compliance with stringent safety regulations.
  • Feature: Good rigidity and mechanical strength.
    • Benefit: Manufacture robust, long-lasting parts that maintain their integrity, backed by a Flexural Modulus of 3000 MPa and a Tensile Strength of 45 MPa.
