HIGH IMPACT POLYSTYRENE HIPS is a low cost plastic material that is easy to machine and fabricate. HIPS is often specified for low strength structural applications when impact resistance, machinability, and low cost are required. It is frequently used machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to fabricate, paint and glue. Natural (translucent white) HIPS is FDA compliant for use in food processing applications. The most versatile and inexpensive materials Provides good toughness, stiffness and impact strength Durability to tempurates as low as -20F  Applications  POP Displays - Short-term application life  Signage - Interior - Medium-term application life  Packaging  Bus Advertising  Model making
