Formosa TAIRIREX HP825S Hot Sale HIPS Resin

Formosa  TAIRIREX HP825S is a specific grade of High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) manufactured by Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation (FCFC).

Physical Properties

  • Density (23°C): Determined by ASTM D792 and ISO 1183, the density at 23°C is 1.04 g/cm³, consistent across standards for mass-to-volume ratio.
  • Shrinkage (3.2mm): Per ASTM D955, shrinkage for 3.2mm-thick samples ranges 0.4–0.7%, indicating dimensional change during cooling or processing.
  • Melt Index (200°C, 5 kg): ASTM D1238 and ISO 1133 both report 2.7 g/10min, showing uniform flowability measurement at 200°C under 5 kg load.
  • Monomer Content: Residual monomer content is 500 ppm, a lower level impacting safety, stability, and compliance in material applications.

Polymer Properties:

  • Base Material: High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)
  • Modification Features:
    • Suitable for extrusion molding with stress crack resistance.
    • High tensile strength and heat distortion temperature.
    • Odorless with low monomer residue, meeting HB fire rating.

Applications:

  • Refrigerator Liners and Door Panels
    • This is one of the most prominent applications for TAIRIREX HP825S. The resin is specifically formulated to withstand the cold temperatures inside a refrigerator and freezer without becoming brittle.
    • Its toughness prevents cracking and breakage from daily use, such as the impact of food items or repeated opening and closing of doors.
  • Automotive Interior and Trim Parts
    • The automotive industry uses TAIRIREX HP825S for various interior components, such as door liners and other trim parts.
    • Its balance of stiffness, impact resistance, and dimensional stability makes it a reliable choice for these non-structural applications.
  • Extruded Sheets and Profiles
    • TAIRIREX HP825S is well-suited for extrusion processes to produce sheets and profiles. These can then be used in a variety of other applications, including signage, point-of-sale displays, and other formed products.
