The primary core component of PS decorative moldings is Polystyrene (PS). It serves as the structural framework of the molding, determining the product's lightweight nature, moldability, and rigidity.
To enhance performance and accommodate diverse interior design requirements, small quantities of auxiliary additives are typically incorporated during the manufacturing process. These include:
Toughening Agents: These improve impact resistance and toughness, thereby minimizing damage caused by accidental bumps or during the installation process.
Antioxidants/Stabilizers: These enhance resistance to heat, light, and aging, thereby extending the product's service life.
Fillers (e.g., talc powder, calcium carbonate): These regulate hardness, improve processing characteristics, and help control production costs.
Surface Decorative Materials (e.g., thermal transfer films, laminates, or spray coatings): These provide aesthetic finishes-such as wood grain, stone texture, or solid colors-while simultaneously enhancing resistance to abrasion, moisture, and staining.
While PS serves as the primary base material, the other ingredients function as auxiliary additives-serving either functional or decorative purposes-and collectively determine the overall performance and aesthetic appeal of the decorative moldings.
