Application of General Polystyrene Compound 1540
General Polystyrene Compound GPPS 1540 is one of the most widely used compound products. Polystyrene Compound 1540 is a general grade compound and can be used in various industries in the best way. It has high heat resistance and is durable in high temperature environments. The positive feature of Polystyrene 1540 is its insulation against electric current, meaning it does not pass electric current and is anti-electric. The benefits of the 1540 General Polystyrene compound include its high impact resistance and therefore does not crack when exposed to impact.
The main applications of 1540 General Polystyrene include:
- Packaging
Food containers such as clear disposable cups, lids, salad bowls and trays.
Consumer goods packaging: blister packs, clamshells and display cases for cosmetics, toys or stationery as well as CD/DVD cases and clear protective covers.
- Consumer goods manufacturing
In the production of disposable containers such as disposable forks, spoons and knives.
Household appliances including clear storage boxes, coat hangers or refrigerator parts.
Toys Non-sensitive parts such as Lego bricks or assembly models.
- Electronics industries
Lighting accessories such as lamp covers or diffusers due to their optical transparency.
Device housings such as clear button covers, battery housings or small electronic frames.
- Medical or Health
In the production of laboratory equipment such as petri dishes, test tubes or sample containers (non-implantable and disposable).
General polystyrene 1540 In the production of diagnostic equipment such as transparent parts for medical devices.
- Industrial applications
General polystyrene compound 1540 is used to produce protective films that temporarily protect surfaces during the production process.
Also extruded sheets are used in signs or displays.
- Application in production processes
In injection molding of general polystyrene 1540 for mass production of parts with complex shapes. In extrusion, general polystyrene compound 1540 is also used in the manufacture of sheets, films or profiles.

Advantages of using polystyrene 1540
Good dimensional stability, high transparency, reasonable price, gamma radiation resistance, high hardness and anti-electricity, high strength, etc. can be mentioned from general polystyrene compound 1540.
Among the limitations of this category of polymers, the following can be mentioned:
Brittleness at ambient temperature, sensitive to UV, high flammability, poor chemical resistance, especially to organic solvents, etc.
Export of GPPS1540
All compound products manufactured at the Karina Polymer factory have an international SGS standard grade and, with several years of experience and production of various compounds, are ready to cooperate in the export of various compounds in injection and extrusion grades, as well as general polystyrene compound 1540, advise and produce and supply custom compounds.
