What is the Himpeck Sheets and what are its uses?
Himpak sheet is a kind of flexible and resistant sheet from the polystyrene subcategory. Polystyrene is the raw material of very hard plastic, which is a transparent polymer compound with high resistance, for this reason it is widely used in the manufacture of many sanitary ware, disposable plastic containers, children's toys, sports equipment and even in the automobile industry. goes. Polystyrene is also used in electrical industries due to its dielectric properties. Polystyrene has another resistant type called Ko Polymer, which is a more resistant and modified version of this material and is used in making containers and household equipment. Co-polymer is known as High Impact Polystyrene, which is a kind of resistant polystyrene, and it is also called (HIPS). In general, it can be said that polystyrenes are divided into three categories: crystal, unilite, and highpack.
☑️ Polystyrene types
☑️ The method of producing the sheet sheets
Polystyrene is normally solid. To produce Hempack, raw materials are first entered into a special machine, then the material is melted with high heat and changed shape, after the material passes through the rolling machine, Hempack is produced in the form of sheets with the same thickness. In the rolling process, materials pass through special rollers and change shape. Himpak sheets are produced in dimensions of 120 x 180 cm and thickness of 1 to 8 mm. Hypek sheets are mostly produced in white, blue, gray, black, red, green and yellow colors.
☑️ Himpeck applications
Himpack's unique features, such as light weight, good moldability, cheap price, etc., have made this material one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Like other thermoplastics, Himepak becomes soft and flexible when heated and returns to a solid state when it cools down again; This feature has made Himpak sheet to become a suitable material for the production of some parts.
☑️ Application in the packaging industry
Himpak sheet is compatible with food packaging and is approved by the American FDA. Himpak is resistant to moisture and is a suitable material for food packaging. Hempack containers can also be used for packaging products with a short shelf life, for example, for packing and storing food items such as: meat, chicken, fish, eggs, dairy products and perishable materials, packages made of resistant polystyrene or Hempack are used. This is an effective and cheap way to package and prevent food spoilage.
☑️ Manufacture of disposable containers with Himepak
One of the most widely used uses of Hempack sheet is in the production of disposable containers. The production and supply of disposable dishes has made life very easy. The possibility of supplying food in large quantities, not needing to carry spoons and forks, the possibility of unlimited purchases at a cheap price, keeping food hot and most importantly maintaining hygiene are among the advantages of having disposable dishes. Disposable containers made with Himpak have good strength, flexibility, color and formability. Due to the malleability and flexibility of Himpak, this sheet is transformed into various types of disposable containers by special molds.
☑️ Home Appliances & Electronic goods packaging
Another application of Himpak sheet It is used in the box of household appliances and electronic goods to protect factors such as impact and moisture.
☑️ Build art tools and supplies
Himpack is easily converted into various sizes and shapes. Therefore, it is used to make artistic designs such as stencils and decorate accessories such as Christmas trees. Himepak paper is also used to create works of art, poems and people's faces in the form of decorative panels.
☑️ Toy toy
Cheap price and easy production of Himepak sheets in different shapes and sizes make this material a good choice for making toys.
☑️ Other applications of the Himepak include:
☑️ Application in the body of household appliances such as refrigerators and freezers.
☑️ Making trays and food containers.
☑️ Modeling different parts.
☑️ Production of sports equipment.
☑️ Application in the manufacture of sanitary ware.
☑️ Guidance and warning signs.
☑️ Advertising posters and banners.
☑️ Himepak Features
The advantages of Himpak sheet have caused the high consumption of this sheet in various industries. These features include: light weight. cheap price. Moisture resistant. High impact property. Ability to build and reheat. Appropriate stability and strength. flexible. Appropriate formability. Adhesion strength and suitable color acceptability. Recyclable.
☑️ Cutting method of sheets
Himpak sheet is cut in two types, manual and laser. Laser cutting is done by special devices according to the defined plan and dimensions. Laser cutting brings advantages such as: high speed and accuracy, good quality and clean and uniform work result. Sometimes, the unavailability of a laser cutting machine makes the cutting of this sheet to be done manually. The manual cutting of Hempak sheet is done by a special blade known as Talaqbar or Moketbar cutter. One of the uses of Hempak laser cutting is in making all kinds of stencils. Stencil laser cutting is one of our services in the Faraplex collection.
☑️ Himpeck's flammability properties
By examining the flammability of polystyrene, one can find out that it is a hemp pack according to the following properties:
When the hemp sheet burns with a flame, it continues to burn after the flame is over.
The flame resulting from the burning of this substance is yellow.
The smoke from burning hemp is black.
When it reaches the melting temperature, it drips in the flame.
When it burns, its smell is similar to the smell of natural gas.
