Features
  • Superior Formability: Engineered for high-definition vacuum forming, HIPS flows consistently into deep-draw moulds, maintaining structural integrity across complex curves and sharp corners.
  • Exceptional Workability: Can be precisely cut with a professional scalpel, guillotine-trimmed, or die-cut. It is highly receptive to drilling and milling, and can be bonded instantly with specialised solvent adhesives for clean, weld-like joints.
  • Mirror Finish: Features a reflective, bright finish that provides a sophisticated look for presentation models and industrial components alike.
  • Consistent Opacity: High pigment density ensures complete opacity even in thin gauges, which is critical for masking internal components or directing light in architectural site models.
  • Chemical & Impact Resistance: Naturally resistant to high-impact stress and various oils and chemicals, ensuring the material remains durable during handling and display.

Description

Professional HIPS Sheet High-Impact Polystyrene

High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a versatile, lightweight, and cost-effective thermoplastic engineered for professionals who require exceptional formability and a clean, matt aesthetic. Renowned for its superb "memory" and consistent thickness, HIPS is the definitive industry standard for vacuum forming and rapid prototyping. Available in a spectrum of colours and a wide range of gauges, these sheets provide a stable, high-opacity substrate that is as easy to machine as it is to form.

Applications:

  • Vacuum Forming & Thermoforming: The premier material for creating complex 3D forms, including bespoke trays, equipment housings, and protective covers. HIPS features a low forming temperature and high elongation, allowing it to capture intricate details with minimal thinning.
  • Architectural Model Making: An essential material for representing modern facades, internal partitions, and structural massing. Its matte finish prevents distracting glare, while its high opacity makes it ideal for internal lighting studies where light leakage must be contained.
  • Point of Sale (POS) & Signage: Extensively used for temporary displays, retail stands, and promotional signage. The matte surface is highly receptive to UV digital printing, screen printing, and vinyl application, ensuring a professional, high-impact finish.
  • Industrial Prototyping: Ideal for rapid volumetric mock-ups and ergonomic studies. HIPS can be easily scored, snapped, and bonded, making it a fast and reliable medium for testing three-dimensional designs before moving to final production.

  • Material: High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
  • Surface Finish: Mirror
  • Colour: Silver - White Backed
