GPPS 3160 General Purpose Polystyrene
Manufacturer: Pad Jam Petrochemical Company
Exceptional Clarity, Industrial Quality, Reliable Performance
GPPS 3160 is a high molecular weight general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) grade produced by one of Iran’s leading petrochemical companies. With its outstanding thermal and mechanical properties, it is an ideal choice for various industries including packaging, home appliances, construction, medical equipment, and more.
Key Features of GPPS 3160
🔹 Excellent Optical Clarity
One of the main advantages of GPPS 3160 is its high transparency and smooth, glossy surface. This makes it ideal for applications such as clear panels, decorative containers, and refrigerator components, delivering a clean and aesthetic finish.
🔹 Good Thermal Resistance
With a Vicat softening point above 104°C, this grade is suitable for applications exposed to relatively high temperatures.
🔹 Easy Processability in Extrusion and Injection Molding
GPPS 3160 is readily processable via extrusion, injection molding, and foam production. It requires no pre-drying, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.
🔹 Good Mechanical Strength and Glossy Finish
Products made from this grade have a highly glossy, uniform surface with a neutral appearance, making it well-suited for demanding export markets.
