GPPS
Generalized Polystyrene (GPPS)
Generalized Polystyrene (GPPS) is a thermoplastic known for its low density, rigid and transparent structure. It can be used in a wide range of applications thanks to its good optical properties and easy processability.
GPPS is a suitable solution for projects requiring high optical transparency and rigidity. Its low cost and easy processability make it a common type of plastic; however, due to its low impact resistance, application areas should be selected according to this characteristic.
Product Features
GPPS offers high stiffness and rigidity, but has limited impact resistance. It provides crystal clear transparency, making it possible to use it in optical applications. As an easily moldable and low-cost material, it is widely preferred in industry. Its electrical insulation properties are also quite good, but its resistance to chemicals and external influences is limited. GPPS offers advantages in lightweight products thanks to its low density.
GPPS is widely used in lighting fixtures, transparent lids, packaging materials, food containers, laboratory equipment and disposable products. It is also preferred in applications requiring aesthetic appearance, such as showcase materials, transparent enclosures and interior decoration products. GPPS is a suitable solution for projects requiring high optical transparency and rigidity. Its low cost and easy processability make it a common type of plastic; however, due to its low impact resistance, application areas should be selected according to this feature.
