Medium impact polystyrene MIPS

Unit Ratio Material Balance for Medium Impact Polystyrene (MIPS)... 

Atactic polystyrene is sometimes known as general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS). There are other commercial grades of polystyrene, such as medium-impact polystyrene (MIPS) and high-impact polystyrene (HIPS). These impact-resistant forms of polystyrene are specially formulated by grafting to a rubber, such as polybutadiene or a styrene-butadiene copolymer, and dispersed in the base polystyrene. The inclusion and detection of small amounts of butadiene-based materials into the base polystyrene has been discussed.

Polystyrene is available commercially in several grades general purpose polystyrene (GPPS), medium impact (MIPS) and high impact (HIPS) polystyrenes and finally expandable polystyrene (EPS). Polystyrene is the third largest consumed thermoplastic in use today after PE and PP with 20% of the market.
