PS Sheet

PS sheet is a new type of environmentally friendly packaging material developed in recent years. With its excellent thermoforming performance, good defensive performance, environmental performance and hygiene performance, it is widely used in medicine, food, toys, electronics and clothing.

main feature:
1. Low static electricity generation, suitable for packaging products that require low static electricity.
2. Easy to vacuum form, and the product has good anti-attack performance.
3. It has good hygienic properties and can be in direct contact with food without causing harm or benefit.
4. It is easy to be colored and can be made into materials of different colors and produced into vacuum covers of different colors.
5. Good hardness, this kind of sheet material has better hardness than other sheet materials of the same thickness. The thermoformed cup can be used as a hot and cold drink cup.
6. It meets environmental protection requirements and can be recycled and reused. When its waste is incinerated, it does not produce harmful substances that harm the environment.
The main purpose:
1. Low static electricity generation (such as electronic products...)
2. Food packaging (such as: beverages, candy, and meat... packaging)
3. Dairy products (dairy products packaged in polystyrene sheet containers can be placed in a cold storage and will not deteriorate easily;)
