High Impact Polystyrene Sheet (HIPS) 1mm x 457mm x 254mm

These highly versatile High Impact Polystyrene Sheets (HIPS) measure 1mm x 457mm x 254mm and are of high quality and offer excellent value for money.

HIPS is used widely used for things such as; signage, making toys, model making, packaging, tray forming, kick plates, printing and point of sale (POS) and is available from us in a variety of colours and thicknesses.

High Impact Polystyrene is a very tough and rigid plastic that is highly resistant to impact, making it a hard-wearing material. It can easily be routed, sawn, punched, drilled, guillotined, thermoformed or vacuum formed.

HIPS is manufactured as a two-layer product. There is a base layer of HIPS and a gloss layer of GPPS, approximately 90% base and 10% gloss. These percentages can vary slightly, from thickness to thickness. Both HIPS and GPPS polymers are approved for direct contact with food.

Note:

• Please Note: Due to current supply issues the protective sheeting on these products may not be able to extend all the way to the edge. This has been observed to be around 1cm to 2cm on some sheets.
