20% Glass Fiber Reinforced High Heat Resistant PS is a subcategory of Polystyrene. The additative is added by weight during the manufacturing process. Its elastic modulus ranges from 850 to 900 MPa. Its flexural modulus ranges from 800 to 1050 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 10000 to 14000 MPa at break. Its flexural strength ranges from 16300 to 22000 MPa. Its Izod Impact strength ranges from 2.1 to 2.6 J/cm. Its elongation at break ranges from 1.4 to 3.5 %. Its specific gravity ranges from 1.2 to 1.22.
Polystyrene, also known as PS, is a thermoplastic polymer. The most common trade name is Novacor 555. copolymer It is an inexpensive material that is not structurally strong but easy to mold. It machines well, and is highly transparent. PS is commonly used for inexpensive packaging materials, pens, safety razors, flatware, and CD jewel boxes. In Styrofoam forms, PS is used to make high-throughput, thin-walled, easy-to-mold parts where structure is not paramount.
