Properties | HIPS | GPPS |
|---|---|---|
Transparency |
Naturally opaque but can be painted or glued. |
High, often referred to as crystal-clear. |
Impact Resistance |
High, due to the addition of rubber. |
Low, more brittle. |
Surface Finish |
Matte |
Glossy |
Flexibility |
More flexible. |
Stiff, brittle. |
Tensile Strength |
Lower (~20-30 MPa) |
Higher (~40-50 MPa) |
Printing / Coating |
Matte surface requires surface preparation. |
Smooth surface is easy to print/ coat. |
