High Impact Styrene
H igh Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
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.
