Optimal Grades for High Gloss HIPS

Asahi Kasei’s synthetic rubber has multiple grades in the low styrene solution viscosity (SV) region, making it ideal for HIPS raw materials with enhanced glossiness. We offer high-quality products with low impurities and gel content.

Optimal Grades for High Gloss HIPS

Achieving Even Higher Glossiness for HIPS

Asahi Kasei’s synthetic rubber has multiple grades in the low styrene solution viscosity (SV) region, allowing for enhanced impact resistance and glossiness when used as a raw material for HIPS. We can also achieve "ultra-high gloss HIPS" that is specifically designed for high gloss. We provide high-quality products with low impurities and gel content.
