Introduction

GPPS1160 is one of the high-quality grades of regular crystal polystyrene produced by Tabriz Petrochemical, which has become one of the most widely used raw materials in the packaging, household appliances and disposable products industries due to its high transparency, excellent processability and glossy surface. This grade is of the General Purpose Polystyrene type and is produced using state-of-the-art technologies at Tabriz Petrochemical Unit.

Regular polystyrene GPPS1160 is from the thermoplastic family and has excellent optical transparency due to its amorphous structure. This feature has made it find a special place in industries where the appearance and beauty of the product are of great importance – such as the production of disposable containers, meat and fruit packaging trays, and shower cabins.
Since this grade is produced in Iran in a stable and uniform quality, it is a suitable option for domestic manufacturers and export buyers who are looking for an economical material with desirable technical performance.

Product Description

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.

Regular polystyrene GPPS1160 is a grade specifically for the extrusion and thermoforming process, which is used in the production of transparent sheets and lightweight injection parts. This product is produced in Tabriz Petrochemical in compliance with international standards and strict quality control, and due to its balanced mechanical and optical properties, it is one of the most widely used types of polystyrene in the Iranian and Middle Eastern markets.

 

Features of GPPS1160 General Purpose Polystyrene

The most important feature of GPPS1160 is its good heat resistance and high molecular weight.

1. High transparency

Due to its amorphous structure, this grade transmits light well and has a glass-like appearance. This feature makes it very suitable for producing transparent packaging containers with high visual beauty.

2. Smooth and shiny surface

Parts produced from polystyrene 1160 have a completely polished and shiny surface, which gives the product a professional and clean look in applications such as shower cabins or food packaging.

3. Excellent processability

This grade is easily processed in extruders, thermoforming and plastic injection machines, and due to its appropriate viscosity, it performs very well in mass production of parts with uniform thickness.

4. Dimensional stability

Polystyrene 1160 is resistant to deformation due to pressure or low to moderate temperatures and maintains its physical properties over time.

5. Reasonable price and easy access

The domestic production of this grade at Tabriz Petrochemical has made its price more competitive than imported samples and provides more security for buyers in terms of supply.

Applications

Its main applications include the production of insulation panels, trays, thermoforming sheets, foam and egg cartons.

Polystyrene 1160 is used in various industries, including:
• Production of shower cabins: due to its transparency and good resistance to moisture.
• Egg cartons and packaging trays: to maintain product safety and beauty in the food industry.
• Disposable containers and meat and fruit packaging: with a clean and transparent appearance to gain consumer trust.
• Insulation and foam sheets: As a base material in the production of lightweight and impact-resistant sheets.
• Household injection products: Such as plastic containers, decorative parts and interior coatings of kitchen appliances.

Advantages

1. Light weight and sufficient strength for general applications.
2. High recyclability and compatible with sustainable production principles.
3. Excellent adhesion to foam and other polymer materials in multilayer products.
4. Maintain transparency and color against light and time.
5. Suitable for printing and laminating, especially in food packaging.
