Characteristics and advantages of PS plastic sheet

CharacteristicsPS (polystyrene) sheetMatching the needs of seedling trays
Thickness range0.2-2mm (customizable)0.5-1.5mm is the most commonly used, taking into account both strength and lightness (trays need to bear seedlings + soil)
Weather resistanceResistant to low temperatures (-20℃~60℃), suitable for greenhouse/outdoor useAdapted to early spring seedling cultivation or environments with large temperature differences
Rigidity/impact resistanceHigh rigidity, excellent bending strength, but brittleness is higher than PPNeed to cooperate with rib design (mold optimization during thermoforming)
Thermoforming performanceHeat deformation temperature 70-90℃, easy to blister moldRapid prototyping (3-5 seconds/mold), yield rate > 95%
Environmental protectionRecyclable (needs to be sorted and processed), some models are degradable (such as adding starch modification)In line with the trend of sustainable agricultural development

Advantages of PS sheet

Excellent thermoforming performance: PS material is easy to soften after heating, suitable for various thermoforming equipment, fast molding speed and high efficiency.

Lightweight and high strength: The material is light, easy to carry and stack, and has good support.

Environmentally friendly and recyclable: PS material can be recycled and reused, in line with the requirements of sustainable development.

Smooth surface, waterproof and moisture-proof: effectively prevent moisture penetration and protect the root environment of seedlings.

Obvious cost advantage: Compared with other materials, PS is more competitively priced and suitable for mass production.

Application field

  • Greenhouse seedling tray
  • Transplanting tray
  • Flower nursery tray
  • Hydroponic cultivation tray
  • Agricultural disposable plastic container

Compared with PP sheet

Application scenarioPS sheet adaptabilityCompared with PP sheet
Short-term seedling cultivation (≤3 months)Low cost, fast moldingPP price is 10%-15% higher
Multi-season reuseHigh UV resistance model (anti-aging)PP has better weather resistance
Automated transplantingHigh tray dimensional stability (PS shrinkage rate <0.5%)PP is easy to deform
