Product Overview
Polystyrene is a colorless, transparent thermoplastic polymerized from styrene monomer. It is hard, rigid and relatively brittle in its standard form, with a density of 1.04–1.065 g/cm³ and light transmittance exceeding 90%.
PS is one of the most cost-effective transparent plastics available and is easily modified — through copolymerization with butadiene or acrylonitrile — to produce toughened (HIPS), chemical-resistant (SAN) or high-performance (ABS) variants.
