High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS)

Q: How can I get a sample?

We provide small samples free of charge, but you will need to cover the shipping costs.

Q: Are you able to adjust the formula to meet our requirement?

We have our own technical department. After you test the sample, please provide us with your detailed requirements. We can adjust the resin accordingly to enhance the properties of your finished products.

Q: What is the lead time for mass production?

Honestly, it depends on the quantity. We will do our best to create a production plan based on your estimated time of arrival (ETA).

Q: What are your terms of payment?

For the first trial order, we require 100% payment upfront. For subsequent orders, we ask for 30% payment in advance and 70% payment after the buyer receives the B/L copy. We also accept L/C if needed.
