Kaofu Chemical Corporation, established in 1978, operates from its headquarters in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, specializing in the production and distribution of polystyrene materials. The company has carved a niche for itself in the market by focusing on the manufacturing of general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), which find extensive applications in various industries. Over the years, Kaofu Chemical Corporation has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to quality and innovation, making it a reputable name in the polystyrene industry in Taiwan.
A versatile type of polystyrene made by Kaofu Chemical Corporation, GPPS is known for its clarity and rigidity. It is widely used in the manufacturing of products that require transparency, such as household appliance components and various packaging materials. Its ability to be easily molded and its inert nature make it a preferred choice for a wide range of applications.
HIPS is another significant product from Kaofu Chemical Corporation, and is produced by polymerizing styrene with butadiene, which results in a material with greater impact resistance than its GPPS counterpart. This feature makes HIPS particularly useful for producing durable items that need to withstand wear and tear, such as computer peripherals and other electronic appliances. Its flexibility and ease of use in manufacturing processes have made HIPS a critical material in the industry.
