PS Regrind

PS Regrind is a recycled form of polystyrene obtained from post-industrial scrap, rejected molded parts, packaging sheets, disposable products, and thermoformed items. The material is shredded and processed into clean, uniform regrind flakes suitable for re-extrusion, injection molding, and compounding. Known for its rigidity, dimensional stability, and ease of processing, PS regrind is a cost-effective alternative to virgin polystyrene for various non-critical and industrial applications.

Our Quality Assurance and Shipping Process

Material Guarantee We assure you that the material will meet the specifications of the loading pictures and the sample provided prior to shipment. Customer satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Quality Inspection:
• Before finalizing the shipment, our Quality Control (QC) team conducts a thorough inspection of the material to ensure it meets the agreed-upon standards.
• Detailed videos and pictures of the material are captured during the inspection and shared with the customer for approval.
2. Container Booking:
• Once the customer approves the material, a container is booked on the next available vessel to ensure prompt delivery.
• The booking details, including the shipping schedule, are shared with the customer for tracking purposes.
3. Loading and Documentation:
   • Material condition
   • Loading procedure
   • Container and seal numbers
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• These visuals, along with the draft of the Bill of Lading (BL), are shared with the customer for verification.
4. BL Draft Confirmation:
• The customer reviews and confirms the BL draft.
• Based on the confirmation, the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued.
• A copy of the OBL is then shared with the customer.

Key Features

• High Rigidity & Strength:
  Retains the natural stiffness and hardness of polystyrene, suitable for products requiring structural stability.

• Excellent Dimensional Accuracy:
  Low shrinkage ensures precise molding with sharp detail and defined edges.

• Good Flow Properties:
  Regrind flakes melt and flow well, providing easy processing in both extrusion and injection molding.

• Clean & Consistent Flake Size:
  Mechanically shredded and filtered to ensure smooth feeding and uniform melt behavior.

• Cost-Effective Material:
  An economical substitute for virgin GPPS (General Purpose Polystyrene) and HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene).

• Recyclable & Eco-friendly:
  Supports sustainable plastic use by reducing waste and energy consumption in manufacturing.

Applications

PS Regrind is used across multiple sectors, especially where high clarity or extreme impact strength is not required:

Injection Molding

• Disposable items

• Household goods

• Small containers & casings

• Cosmetic packaging components

Extrusion

• Sheet & film extrusion

• Thermoformed trays, plates, and packaging

• Profiles and display items

Compounding & Blending

• HIPS formulations (by blending with impact modifiers)

• Masterbatch carrier (for certain applications)

• Fillers and color compound mixtures

Stationery & Consumer Items

• Pen parts

• Rulers

• Office accessories

Technical Specifications (Typical)

• Material: Polystyrene (PS) — GPPS/HIPS mix possible depending on batch

• Form: Regrind / Shredded flakes

• Color: Natural, White, Clear, Black, or Mixed

• Flake Size: 5–15 mm (uniform, batch dependent)

• Density: 1.04 – 1.06 g/cm³

• MFI: 2–10 g/10 min (varies depending on source)

• Heat Resistance: Moderate (suitable for ambient applications)

• Contamination Level: Low — free from metals, dust, rubber, and foreign plastics

• Moisture Content: <0.5%

• Packaging: Jumbo bags (500–1000 kg)

Advantages

• High clarity (depending on grade)

• Excellent dimensional stability and rigidity

• Smooth processing in molding and extrusion

• Suitable for high-volume, low-cost production

• 100% recyclable in most systems

• Significant cost savings vs. virgin PS
