HIPS 825 Good material for appliance parts

High-Quality HIPS Pellets for Containers, Furniture, and Food-Grade Tableware – Durable, Processable, and Safe

Discover premium-grade HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) pellets engineered for versatile industrial applications—from rigid packaging solutions to durable furniture components and FDA-compliant tableware. These thermoplastic resins combine excellent mechanical strength, ease of processing, and cost-effective performance, making them a top choice for manufacturers seeking reliable materials across global markets.

Key Features:

• • High toughness and impact resistance for long-lasting product integrity
• • Smooth surface finish ideal for aesthetic appeal in consumer goods
• • Consistent melt flow rate (5.35 g/10min) ensures uniform processing in injection molding and extrusion
• • Low density (1.04 g/cm³) reduces material weight without compromising strength
• • Vicat softening temperature of 88°C allows stable use under moderate heat conditions
• • Excellent impact strength (7.9 kJ/m²) supports drop-resistant design
• • Chromaticity value of 8.9 indicates minimal color variation—ideal for consistent batch production

This specialized HIPS Resin is formulated for high-performance manufacturing environments where dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and visual consistency matter. Whether you're producing food-safe containers, durable plastic bins, or modern furniture parts, this material offers a balanced blend of physical properties that meet international standards such as those set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It’s also suitable for blending with general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) to enhance impact behavior while maintaining processability.

Manufacturers worldwide rely on these HIPS pellets for their ability to streamline production workflows. The material’s low viscosity enables fast cycle times in injection molding machines, reducing energy consumption and increasing throughput. Its compatibility with standard equipment makes it an accessible upgrade path from conventional plastics like PS or PP, especially when enhanced durability is required but budget constraints remain tight.

Applications Across Industries:

These HIPS variants are widely used in sectors demanding both functionality and safety:

• • Packaging: Rigid boxes, storage bins, and protective cases for electronics, cosmetics, and household items
• • Furniture: Indoor seating components, modular shelving units, and decorative elements
• • Food Service: Plates, cups, cutlery, and disposable tableware meeting regulatory compliance for direct food contact
• • Consumer Goods: Toys, home appliances, and small electrical enclosures requiring lightweight yet robust construction

Users consistently praise the material for its predictable behavior during fabrication and final product quality. One manufacturer noted, “The smooth finish and uniform texture make our packaging lines more efficient—we see fewer rejects and higher customer satisfaction.” Another added, “We’ve successfully transitioned from GPPS to this HIPS grade for our tableware line—it performs better under real-world stress and feels more premium to end users.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this HIPS pellet safe for food contact? Yes, the Food Grade HIPS 825 variant complies with FDA regulations for materials intended to come into contact with food, ensuring no harmful leaching even after repeated use or exposure to common cleaning agents.

How does it compare to ABS or PP in terms of cost-effectiveness? While ABS offers greater heat resistance, HIPS provides superior rigidity at lower cost—making it ideal for applications where extreme temperatures aren’t expected but structural integrity is critical. Compared to PP, it offers better clarity and easier processing, particularly in thin-wall molding.

Can I recycle this material? Like most thermoplastics, HIPS can be recycled through established polymer recovery systems, provided it's clean and free from contamination. Many manufacturers now incorporate post-consumer HIPS into new products, supporting circular economy initiatives.

As part of our comprehensive range of thermoplastic resins—including GPPS, ABS, and PP—we continuously innovate to deliver sustainable, high-performance materials that empower global industries. Whether you're sourcing raw materials for mass production or developing niche products for specialty markets, this HIPS pellet delivers reliability, flexibility, and value in every application.
