PS Decorative Sheet, Some Facts You Want to Know

PS decorative sheet is commonly known as "organic board", the chemical name is Polystyrene (polystyrene), is a thermoplastic non-crystalline resin. Let's see what its characteristics are and where it can be used.

Performance

Colorless, odorless, tasteless and lustrous, light and inexpensive, low water absorption, good coloring, chemically stable, with excellent electrical insulation, high-frequency insulation is particularly good, a certain degree of impact resistance, weathering and aging resistance, good light transmission, resistance to general chemical corrosion, the price is lower than organic glass (acrylic), mechanical processing, heat bending, screen printing, blistering.

Mechanical properties

high strength, fatigue resistance, dimensional stability, creep is also small (very little change in high temperature conditions);
Heat aging resistance: enhanced UL temperature index of 120 ~ 140 ℃ (outdoor long-term aging is also very good);

Stability to water

easy to decompose in contact with water (high temperature, high humidity environment need to be used with caution);
Insulation performance: excellent (moisture, high temperature can also maintain the electrical properties of stable, is the ideal material for the manufacture of electronic and electrical parts);

Molding processability

common equipment injection molding or extrusion. Due to the fast crystallization speed and good fluidity, the mold temperature is also lower than other engineering plastics requirements.

Clear PS Sheet

Material difference

1. Plexiglass is made of polymer materials and belongs to engineering plastics.
2. PS sheet is polystyrene sheet.
3. Tempered glass is obtained by sharply heating and cooling the glass.
Price, glass should be the cheapest, followed by PS, the most expensive when the plexiglass, but the latter two advantages is not broken.

Applications

Electronic appliances: connectors, switch parts, household appliances, accessory parts, small electric cover cover or (heat resistance, flame retardancy, electrical insulation, molding processability);
Automobile: corner Gersan, engine heat release hole cover, etc.; inner mirror brace strip, wiper bracket and control system valve; ignition coil strand tube and various electrical connectors, etc.
Mechanical equipment: video tape recorder belt drive shaft, electronic computer cover, mercury lamp cover, iron cover, baking machine parts and a large number of gears, cams, buttons, electronic watch housing, camera parts (heat-resistant, flame retardant requirements)
PS is widely used in the optical industry, due to its good light transmission, optical glass and optical instruments, can also be made transparent or brightly colored, such as lampshades, lighting apparatus, etc. PS can also be made in a number of high-frequency environment in the work of electrical components and instruments, etc..
PS alone for products, brittleness, and the addition of a small amount of other substances in PS, such as butadiene can significantly reduce brittleness, improve impact toughness, this plastic is called impact PS, HIPS for short, its mechanical properties are greatly improved, the plastic can be used to make many excellent mechanical parts and components.
