PS
Polystyrene’s crisp rigidity makes it a favorite for detailed injection‑molded parts—display fixtures, model kits, and protective packaging inserts. Its glossy finish and colorability allow designers to match branding and aesthetic needs without additional coating.
In its expanded foam form, PS offers exceptional thermal insulation and cushioning, which is utilized in coolers, protective equipment, and lightweight construction panels. The material’s closed‑cell structure also resists moisture ingress.
