Hips Regrind

HIPS Regrind (High Impact Polystyrene Regrind) is a post-industrial or post-consumer recycled form of HIPS, processed into small, uniform flakes or granules through grinding. Known for its excellent impact resistance, ease of processing, and consistent performance, HIPS regrind is widely used in the plastic manufacturing industry as a cost-effective alternative to virgin material. It is derived from products such as injection-molded parts, refrigerator liners, display panels, and other high-impact polystyrene items.

The regrind form ensures efficient handling, dosing, and melting during manufacturing, making it suitable for extrusion, injection molding, thermoforming, and compounding 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:
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• Material condition
• Loading procedure
• Container and seal numbers
• 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.

Material Composition:

• 100% High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)

• Contains polybutadiene rubber for enhanced impact strength

• Post-industrial or post-consumer grade depending on supply source

Physical Characteristics:

• Form: Uniform regrind flakes or granules

• Color: Black, white, natural, or mixed (depending on source)

• Bulk Density: ~0.30–0.45 g/cm³

• Melt Flow Index (MFI): Typically 2–8 g/10 min (230°C/5kg)

• Impact Strength: High, compared to general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS)

Applications After Recycling:
Reprocessed HIPS Regrind can be used for:

• Manufacturing TV and monitor casings

• Appliance housings and refrigerator liners

• Food packaging trays (non-food-contact grades for recycled material)

• Toys and consumer goods

• Plastic sheets for thermoforming

• Injection-molded parts for various industries

Advantages:

• Excellent Impact Resistance: Maintains toughness even at low temperatures

• Good Processability: Easy to mold and extrude with consistent melt flow

• Dimensional Stability: Provides precise, warp-free finished products

• Cost-Effective: Affordable alternative to virgin HIPS without compromising quality

• Versatile Recycling Potential: Suitable for blending with virgin resin for better properties
