High-Impact Polystyrene, HIPS´ve a density = 1,06 gr/cc
Why is polystyrene brittle?
Unfilled polystyrene is also known as crystal polystyrene (PS) or general purpose polystyrene (GPPS). However, since crystal polystyrene is brittle, other polymers are added to polystyrene to improve its strength, and copolymers are formed as a result. One such copolymer is high impact polystyrene (HIPS), which is produced by adding polybutadiene rubber to polystyrene during the polymerization process. HIPS is tougher and has a greater impact strength than unfilled polystyrene. There are different types of polystyrene. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is one form of the polymer that has high tensile strength, with good elasticity. It is commonly known as Styrofoam™. The other common form of polystyrene is expanded polystyrene (EPS). Both EPS and XPS are made from similar materials but there are difference between the two. XPS has a higher density as compared to EPS, due to the absence of air passages between its cells. The higher density makes XPS more rigid and strong. Also, XPS is waterproof and is an effective thermal insulator. Read more in the related link.
What are the 7 classes of plastic?
The seven types of plastic are: Polyethylene terephthalate, High-density polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride, Low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, Polystyrene, and an unnamed category consisting of plastics that do not fit into the other categories. Polystyrene is often called Styrofoam.
What is expanded form of PLB relating to HDPE pipes?

Is Thermopore and polyethylene same?
Thermopore is a brand name of Industrial Enterprises (Pvt.) Limited. This name was coined by the company in 1961 for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, which is the most commonly used material for insulation. Polystyrene & Polyethylene are two different materials having distinct characteristics due to difference in closed cell formation and chemical structure. Expanded Polystyrene is widely used for insulation and packing purposes due to its high insulative properties whereas the latter is mostly used for packing purposes
What does HIPS stand for?

Is the number a person is looking for on the plastic container inside the triangle or beside it?
The number a person is looking for on a plastic container is located inside the triangle. If you didn't know, the number indicates the type of plastic material used to make that specific bottle. There are varies types of materials 1-7. 1 - PET, polyethlyene terephthalate 2 - HDPE, high-density polyethylene 3 - PVC, polyvinyl chloride 4 - LDPE, low-density polyethylene 5 - PP, polypropylene 6 - PS/PS-E, polystyrene / expanded polystyrene 7 - OTHER, resins or multi-materials
What dose hips stand for?

What is HIPS plastic?
HIPS High Impact Polystyrene is particularly suitable for thermoforming, it is a tough, rigid material and its high impact strength means it can be guillotined, punched, routered or sawn without difficulty.
