Qstyrene (General Purpose Polystyrene Sheets)
Qstyrene (General Purpose Polystyrene sheets) are a transparent polystyrene sheet which is a cost-effective alternative to PMMA for indoor applications. Applications are limitless for indoor use and the inherent clarity of the product enhances the aesthetic aspect of any end product made of GPPS. Due to low water absorption, GPPS sheets
with various surface patters, are a material of choice for bathroom partitions, shower screens, shower enclosures, bath tub enclosures etc. We have a variety of GPPS sheets to meet various industry needs like plain transparent, prismatic light diffuser, antiglare, patterned etc. A variety of colors are possible and custom colors are provided on special
requests that meet our minimum quantity specifications.
