ABOUT Reprocessed High Impact Polystyrene (rHIPS)

Reprocessed HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is mainly produced by the post-industrial plastic scraps and the polymerization of styrene (vinyl benzene).

Usually, plasic hanger manufacturers use reprocessed polystyrene to minimize production cost and help to save the environment . Also, the resin must have shining and smooth surface, since the smart product presentation can attract customers and potential customers easily for purchasing the products. On the other hand, the resin processability is the key to the success of this application. Reprocessed HIPS should be easy to run, and has experienced faster cycles. 

The procedure for producing reprocessed resin involves:

1. Sorting

2. Grinding plastic parts

3. Extruding the regrinds

4. Coloring by adding carbon black and a modifier

5. Granulating

6. Quality Check with strict quality assurance

7. Packing

After adding the additive or modifier into the HIPS recycled material, its izod impact strength has been enhanced. Then the customers can have confidence in using reprocessed material continuously.
