High Impact Styrene (HIS) Sheet: Durable Plastic for Printing & Die Cutting
High Impact Styrene (HIS) is a common and widely used plastic material, highly valued for its smooth surface, excellent vacuum forming properties, and suitability for printing, painting, and silk screening industries. Industrial Plastic Supply's HIS sheets are an excellent choice for low-temperature applications, such as the inside walls of refrigerators and freezers, and are a popular material for die-cutting or stamping. This material bonds exceptionally well with solvent cements, cuts easily, and is both ITAR and RoHS compliant, making it versatile for various industrial and prototype parts. It is frequently used for items like 8" X 12" "For Sale" or "Garage Sale" signs due to its ease of processing and printing.
Great for Vacuum Forming and Die Cutting Parts
High Impact Styrene material is a very common and widely used material.
