What kind of plastic is the television made of?
It depends on what kind of TV you have (LCD plasma old new). television housing can be made from polystyrene like POLYSTYRENE IMPACT 6540.
What materials are used to make the sony walkman?
a SONY-TPSL2 is made out of aluminium, for it's lightweight and cheap assets and HIP ( High Impact Polystyrene ) plastic for it's durability.
What is polystryrene used in?
Taken from Wikipedia: Pure solid polystyrene is a colorless, hard plastic with limited flexibility. It can be cast into molds with fine detail. Polystyrene can be transparent or can be made to take on various colours. It is economical and is used for producing plastic model assembly kits, license plate frames, plastic cutlery, CD "jewel" cases, and many other objects where a fairly rigid, economical plastic is desired.

Why isn't plastic sustainable?
not actually sure
Is polystyrene soundproof?
No. There is really no one material that is sound proof. Many materials can reduce sound levels, but reducing sound is not what you might think of when you hear sound proof.
What does HIPS stand for?

What dose hips stand for?
high impact polystyrene
Why is high impact polystyrene used in windmills?
High impact polystyrene is used in windmills for its lightweight and durable properties. It is an ideal material for creating components such as blades and nacelles that require strength and impact resistance to withstand harsh weather conditions. Additionally, high impact polystyrene is cost-effective and can be easily molded into complex shapes, making it a popular choice for wind turbine construction.
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.
What is the density of hips?
High-Impact Polystyrene, HIPS´ve a density = 1,06 gr/cc
Is high impact polystyrene a thermoplastic or a thermosetting plastic?
It is a thermoplastic! :)
What is HIPS used for?
i recently found this out and hips stands for high impact polystyrene but iam not actually sure what its used for
What are the differences between high impact polystyrene and ordinary polystyrene?
Ordinary polystyrene is better known as cristal polystyrene or GPPS (General purpose polystyrene) It is a hard very transparant and britlle plastic. One of the best know uses is cd-box. To improve the toughness of this plastic rubber is added during the manufacture. This synthetic rubber (polybutadiene) is divided trough the polystyrene in the form of small droplets ,The size and the composition of the rubber droplets will determine final properties. A lot of applications will be made with mixtures of GPPS and HIPS (HIPS is high impact polystyrene). The stiffness of HIPS is a lot lower than the stiffness of GPPS, hence the mixtures. One well known application is yoghurt cups.
Can i use high impact polystyrene for lost foam casting?
No. High impact polystyrene is a very hard plastic. If you tried doing a lost-foam casting you'd just make a mess.You make a lost-foam casting by creating a styrofoam model of your finished piece, packing casting sand around it to create a mold, then pouring metal into the mold. When the hot metal touches the foam, it vaporizes.You could make your model out of high impact polystyrene then use that to create a cope and drag mold.
What are different grades of polystyrene?
Polystyrene is available in several grades, primarily categorized as general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS), high-impact polystyrene (HIPS), and expandable polystyrene (EPS). GPPS is clear and rigid, making it suitable for applications like packaging and disposable cutlery. HIPS contains rubber additives for increased toughness and impact resistance, often used in consumer products and automotive parts. EPS is lightweight and insulative, commonly used in packaging and insulation materials.
What is HIP plastic used for?
i recently found this out and hips stands for high impact polystyrene but iam not actually sure what its used for
Is HIPS plastic thermosetting?
No, HIPS (High-Impact Polystyrene) is a thermoplastic, not a thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be melted and reshaped multiple times, while thermosetting plastics undergo a chemical reaction during curing that makes them rigid and non-meltable.
