Polystyrene

(High-Impact Polystyrene)
High-Impact Polystyrene is a low-cost plastic material that is easy to machine and fabricate. It is often specified for low-strength structural applications when impact resistance is required. Because of its dimensional stability and ease of painting and gluing, HIPS is frequently chosen for machining pre-production prototypes. In its natural (translucent white) form, HIPS is FDA-compliant for use in food-processing applications, but it is also available in custom colors.
