Iziphuzo ze-HIPS, ezaziwa nangokuthi iziphuzo ze-polystyrene ezinamandla aphezulu, ziyinto ye-thermoplastic eyakhiwe ngohlelo lwezigaba ezimbili olwakhiwe ngezigaba ze-rubber kanye nezigaba ze-polystyrene eziqhubekayo. Le nto ithuthukisa ukumelana nomthelela kwe-polystyrene ngokusebenzisa ukujula kwe-rubber, okwenza ibe nezici ezinhle zokuthintwa nokucubungula, futhi isetshenziswa kabanzi ezindaweni ezahlukene.

Ubukhulu be-HIPS buphelele phakathi kuka-1.04-1.06 g/ml, futhi bavele njengezikhumbuzo ezimhlophe ezingenalutho noma ama-granules. Ukumelana kwabo namafutha namanzi kubavumela ukuba bagcine ukusebenza kahle ezindaweni ezahlukene, kuyilapho futhi bekwazi ukuhluza kwezinye izixazululo ze-organic ezifana ne-benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, dichloroethane, njll.

Izigranuli zethu ze-HIPS (imodeli: HIPS-WH02, HIPS-BK02, HIPS-N02, HIPS-GY02) zinezinhlelo eziningi zokusebenza, kuhlanganise kodwa kungagcini lapho eziphrinti, izigubhu zemidlalo, izikhala zokupholisa umoya, izikhala zezinto zasendlini, nezinye izinkalo. Ngenxa yezakhiwo zayo ezinhle zomzimba kanye nezindleko eziphansi, ama-particulate e-HIPS asebe yinto ethandwayo ezinqubweni zokukhiqiza imikhiqizo eminingi. ‌
