GPPS Floor Sweep

GPPS Floor Sweep is a recycled General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) material collected from factory floor scrap, excess trims, or defective GPPS parts. This material is carefully gathered, cleaned, and processed into uniform regrind or flakes. Despite being post-industrial scrap, GPPS Floor Sweep retains the rigidity, transparency, and processability of virgin GPPS, making it a cost-effective raw material for manufacturers in injection molding and extrusion industries.

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.

Key Features & Properties:

• Material: General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS)

• Form: Clean regrind / flakes obtained from factory floor sweep

• Color: Transparent, off-white, or mixed depending on source

• Density: ~1.04 – 1.06 g/cm³

• Melt Flow Index (MFI): ~2 – 6 g/10 min (batch dependent)

• Mechanical Properties:

  • Good rigidity and dimensional stability

  • Moderate impact resistance

  • Lightweight and brittle compared to ABS

• Optical Properties: Maintains clarity suitable for transparent parts

• Processing: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion after screening

Applications:

GPPS Floor Sweep is commonly used in non-critical manufacturing applications or blended with virgin GPPS to reduce costs:

• Injection molded parts: Household items, containers, and housings

• Packaging applications: Blister packs, trays, and food packaging (if food-grade compliant)

• Blending with virgin GPPS: To produce transparent or semi-transparent components economically

• Extruded sheets and profiles: Non-load-bearing products, display components, and signage

Advantages:

• Cost-effective: Reduces production costs compared to virgin GPPS

• Eco-friendly: Promotes recycling of factory scrap

• Maintains key GPPS properties: Retains rigidity, dimensional stability, and transparency

• Process-friendly: Suitable for injection molding and extrusion

• Versatile: Can be blended with virgin GPPS or HIPS for improved performance
