High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a modified form of Polystyrene developed to improve the brittleness of conventional Polystyrene materials. By incorporating rubber particles into the polymer matrix, the material achieves significantly greater impact resistance. This article by TLD Vietnam provides an overview of the material, including composition, key properties, and typical industrial applications. What Is HIPS? HIPS is a modified form of Polystyrene developed to overcome the brittleness typically associated with conventional Polystyrene materials. Standard Polystyrene, often referred to as General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS), offers good rigidity and clarity but tends to fracture easily under mechanical stress. To address this

Injection molding is one of the most widely used manufacturing methods in the plastics industry. Among the materials commonly used in this process, Polystyrene (PS) stands out for good moldability, stable processing performance, and smooth surface finish. This article from TLD Vietnam provides an overview of PS, the PS injection molding process, and future trends in the plastics industry. What Is PS? PS is a rigid, amorphous thermoplastic widely used in injection molding for producing parts that require excellent surface finish, precise mold detail reproduction, and stable high-volume production. Manufactured from styrene monomers, PS forms a stiff molecular structure that

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer best known for clarity, strength, and food-safe properties. As one of the most commonly used materials in packaging, PET is particularly suited for injection molding applications. Understanding PET molding, from material handling to tooling and processing, is key to achieving high product quality and manufacturing efficiency. Read the full blog by TLD Vietnam for expert insights on PET injection molding. Introduction To PET Injection Molding What is PET? PET is a widely used thermoplastic polymer belonging to the polyester family. It is produced through the polymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is a lightweight cellular material derived from Polystyrene, widely used for insulation and protective applications. A closed-cell structure formed during expansion enables low thermal conductivity and effective energy absorption. This article by TLD Vietnam provides a technical overview of EPS foam, examining material fundamentals, manufacturing process, key properties, and applications. What Is EPS Foam? Definition of EPS Foam EPS foam is a lightweight cellular material derived from Polystyrene, commonly used to produce foam boards, packaging materials, and insulation products. It is produced by expanding polymer beads that contain a volatile blowing agent, typically pentane, under controlled
