General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) 1160 is a versatile thermoplastic polymer engineered for applications requiring superior clarity, rigidity, and thermal resistance. This grade is particularly suited for extrusion processes, including the production of bi-oriented polystyrene (BOPS) and thermoformed products.

Key Features:

High Heat Resistance: Maintains structural integrity under elevated temperatures.
Excellent Clarity: Provides transparency for applications where visual appeal is essential.
Superior Rigidity: Ensures dimensional stability and strength in finished products.
Ease of Processing: Facilitates efficient manufacturing in extrusion and thermoforming operations.
Typical Applications:

Transparent Packaging: Ideal for food containers, cups, and trays requiring clarity and rigidity.
Foamed Products: Suitable for insulation boards, fruit trays, meat trays, and egg boxes produced via direct gassing.
Thermoformed Items: Used in the production of shower cabinets, lighting panels, and other thermoformed goods.
