Introduction

GPPS1460 is one of the most widely used and high-quality grades of regular polystyrene produced by Tabriz Petrochemical, which is specifically designed for the injection process and production of foam sheets and disposable containers. With its high transparency, appropriate strength and desirable processability, this grade is considered an ideal option for domestic manufacturers and exporters of plastic products.

Regular polystyrene or GPPS (General Purpose Polystyrene) is one of the most widely used thermoplastics in the packaging, food and household appliances industries. The appropriate combination of physical and optical properties in the GPPS1460 grade has made it a valuable product that meets the needs of domestic and foreign markets in the production of lightweight foam containers, insulating sheets and delicate injection parts.

Product Description

Regular polystyrene GPPS1460 of Tabriz Petrochemical is a type of hard, transparent and light impact-resistant polymer. This grade, with its amorphous structure and suitable molecular weight, is in the category of recyclable thermoplastic materials and is widely used in foam sheet and disposable container production lines due to its dimensional stability, surface gloss, and high processability.

Tabriz Petrochemical Company, utilizing state-of-the-art technology, has designed this grade in a way that, in addition to its high quality, it is also capable of competing with international brands. The precise combination of technical parameters in this product has made GPPS1460 the first choice of many manufacturers in the foam packaging and lightweight injection products industries.

Polystyrenes are produced in 3 different grades: HIPS grade, which is impact-resistant, regular grade or GPPS, and EPS or expanded polystyrene.

GPPS polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer, the reason for the development of this type of polymer is its transparency, ductility, and low price.

Features of GPPS1460 General Purpose Polystyrene

Generally, regular polystyrenes are hard and transparent, which are also called crystals in the industry, and they also have excellent formability.

1. High transparency and gloss

One of the most prominent features of GPPS1460 is its glossy and transparent surface. This appearance feature makes the final products look beautiful, clean and high-quality. For this reason, this grade is very suitable for the production of food packaging containers and decorative products.

2. Excellent processability in injection and extrusion

GPPS1460 has an optimal melt flow index, which allows it to be used in Injection Molding and Extrusion processes. This feature allows manufacturers to produce sheets and containers at high speed and with uniform quality.

3. Suitable density and light weight

The low density of this grade, while maintaining structural strength, reduces the final weight of the product. This property is of particular importance for the production of foams and foam insulation sheets and helps to save on raw material consumption.

4. High foamability

Tabriz Petrochemical’s GPPS1460 has special structural features that enable the production of closed-cell foams with a uniform and lightweight structure. These foams are widely used in various industries, especially for insulation and packaging.

5. Dimensional stability and heat resistance

This grade has appropriate thermal stability and desirable resistance to deformation at process temperatures. For this reason, it has reliable performance in the production of precision injection parts that require dimensional stability.

Application

It is most widely used in the production of disposable containers, and has been widely welcomed due to properties such as: transparency, resistance to moisture absorption, lack of odor and taste, electrical insulation, reasonable price, and good moldability. Of course, due to its main properties, it is also used in the manufacture of equipment such as sports equipment, household appliances, computers, fans, etc.

Tabriz Petrochemical Grade GPPS1460 is used in various industries, the most important of which are the following:
• Production of foam and glossy disposable containers
