PS (Polystyrene) in Injection Molding
Polystyrene (PS) is a rigid thermoplastic valued for its clarity, dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and cost effectiveness. RapidDirect offers transparent PS for CNC machining and injection molding, for packaging, prototypes, consumer products, and parts that benefit from visibility.
- Optical clarity: Transparent PS is suitable for parts where visibility is useful.
- Dimensional stability: PS supports precise components with consistent dimensions.
- Electrical insulation: Its insulating properties suit electrical applications.
- Cost effective: PS is an accessible option for prototypes and production.
Selection note: PS combines rigidity and easy processing with the option of transparent forms. It is a practical choice for detailed parts where clarity and cost matter.
