What is the difference between rigid polystyrene plastic and expanded polystyrene?
Rigid polystyrene plastic is a closed cell of light weight, rigid & foam plastic that is derived from petroleum and natural gas by products. It is hard plastic in one word. This is used to make plastic containers and insulators. On the other hand, expanded polystyrene is derived by expanding the regular foam molecules by 50 times their volume using a blowing agent (pentane gas). This is used to make packaging materials.

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.
