Growing Concern in the Electronic Packaging Industry
In today’s electronic packaging industry, HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) plastic rolls are one of the most commonly used materials for vacuum forming electronic trays. These trays are widely applied in the packaging of IC chips, sensors, circuit boards, and other precision components.
However, more and more manufacturers have recently raised concerns about the unstable antistatic and dust resistance performance of some HIPS plastic rolls available on the market. Poor antistatic treatment or inadequate surface cleanliness can directly affect the vacuum forming process, leading to deformed trays, dust contamination, and even product rejection during inspection.
Why Antistatic Performance Matters？
When forming or using electronic trays, static electricity can easily build up on the plastic surface. If the material’s surface resistivity is not properly controlled, static discharge may occur, which could damage sensitive electronic components or attract dust particles.
For example, in IC packaging, even a small static discharge may burn the chip or reduce its lifespan. Meanwhile, a dusty surface increases the risk of contamination inside cleanrooms. Therefore, high-quality antistatic HIPS plastic rolls are essential to ensure safe, clean, and stable tray production.
What is antistatic HIPS plastic rolls?
Antistatic HIPS plastic rolls are thermoformable polystyrene sheets with added antistatic agents or surface coatings that control surface resistivity within the range of 10⁶–10⁹ Ω/sq. This property allows them to safely dissipate static charges, preventing dust attraction and electrostatic discharge during handling and forming.
They are supplied in roll form, suitable for vacuum forming, thermoforming, and blister packaging of electronic trays, mobile phone components, IC chips, and other precision devices.

Pusite — Your Reliable Manufacturer of Antistatic HIPS Plastic Rolls
Are you still troubled by the following questions?
- Inconsistent surface resistivity: The antistatic coating wears off quickly or is uneven across the sheet.
- Dust or foreign particles: Contaminants on the roll surface affect tray appearance and function.
- Uneven thickness: Causes deformation or poor forming during the vacuum process.
- Low heat resistance: The material softens too quickly during forming, making the tray unstable.
- Unreliable suppliers: Lack of testing reports or poor after-sales service when issues arise.
How to Choose Reliable Antistatic HIPS Plastic Rolls?
To ensure consistent quality when sourcing HIPS sheets for electronic trays, buyers should focus on these key points:
