High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a versatile, economical and impact-resistant plastic that is easy to machine and fabricate. HIPS is often specified for low strength structural applications when impact resistance, machinability, and low cost are required. It is frequently used machining pre-production prototypes since it has excellent dimensional stability and is easy to fabricate, paint, and glue.

APPLICATION
With balanced properties of toughness, machinability, and affordability, high-impact polystyrene stands out as one of the versatile materials applied in a broad array of uses. Here are some of the most common uses of HIPS:
- Packaging: Besides their food-grade safety properties, the ease of thermoforming into shapes like trays, cups, and containers makes HIPS highly useful in packaging food items. The foremost advantage of HIPS is that it can withstand up to moderate temperatures without warping or melting; it is thus suitable for keeping food items ranging from cold to warm.
- Consumer Products: Its toughness and reasonable price have made the material standard in the manufacture of everyday products, such as toys, household goods, and office supplies. HIPS is commonly used in applications requiring resistance to impact with a restriction of weight and expense.
- Electronics: HIPS is often used to produce enclosures for small electronics such as televisions, computers, and printers, as its insulating properties and impact resistance help protect sensitive electronic components.
- Automotive Industry: In the automotive sector, HIPS is employed to manufacture interior trim parts, consoles, and various decorative elements due to its durability and ease of molding.
- Signage and Display: HIPS can be printed on and shaped easily, making it a popular material for point-of-sale displays, promotional signage, and retail fixtures.
