Overview
GPPS is the standard grade of the GPPS family in the general-purpose plastics group. It is used in applications such as clear disposable containers and cups, petri dishes and lab consumables, cosmetic and stationery packaging. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
Typical properties
| Property | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Density | 1,05 g/cm³ |
| Vicat softening | 95–100 °C |
| Tensile strength | 40–50 MPa |
