Ordinary polystyrene (General Purpose Poly Styrene)
Regular polystyrene, also known as GPPS, is a material made from the polymer styrene monomer. This solid and transparent product is produced by the suspension process. This product is also known as crystal clear polystyrene and is very different from high impact polystyrene (HIPS). GPPS can be converted into a wide range of products by being converted into granular form. This product has several useful properties such as strength, weather resistance, etc., which make it ideal for use in various industrial applications. GPPS flows freely and easily. Regular polystyrene has a very low production cost, is easy to store, and is easily molded. These features make GPPS products versatile and recyclable.

Application:
Since GPPS can be molded easily, it is used to make encapsulating products such as toys, CD cases, hangers, plastic cups, IT equipment, jewelry boxes, etc. to be
The medical industry uses regular polystyrene to make test tubes, test kit housings, diagnostic products, petri dishes, tissue trays, etc.
Even many household appliances such as bathroom accessories and gardening equipment use regular polystyrene.
The construction of refrigerator components such as slatted floors (for storing eggs) also requires ordinary polystyrene.
Products that have a lot of daily use, such as toothbrushes, toothbrush containers, beds, pen holders, geometric tools, etc., are made using GPPS.
All major food packaging, refrigeration, audio/video, consumer electronics, office equipment, medical equipment and toy industries require regular polystyrene.
