Polystyrene
General purpose and high impact polystyrene are rigid, lightweight thermoplastic sheets available in clear and a limited range of colours. With a wide temperature window high impact polystyrene or HIPS can be formed into shapes with fine detail over short cycle times and with pre-drying rarely required.
General Purpose Polystyrene or GPPS is a transparent, rigid thermoplastic sheet with limited flexibility. The material is particularly suited to flat applications such as poster glazing.

High Impact Polystyrene or HIPS is a polystyrene sheet with the added benefit of having up to seven times the impact strength of general purpose polystyrene. Due to its wide temperature window and with pre-drying rarely required, the material is ideal for thermoforming.
GPPS AR has a fine, matt texture on both sides. This surface finish is primarily to help avoid glare by reducing reflections but also works equally well to disguise finger marks from handling.
Embossed sheets have a surface finish that offers light transmission whilst obscuring vision.
