What is PS film unique makes
PS film is more than just a flat plastic sheet. What is crucial is the interplay between the material, the film thickness, the structure and the subsequent processing. Due to the very Good deep drawing properties The film can be transformed into different geometries. Additive and multilayered structures further expand the possibilities – if certain functions are also required in addition to the shape.
Very good deep drawing properties
PS film is easy to shape and is therefore suitable for deep-drawn solutions with different geometries. The film follows the tool contour and forms the basis for precisely shaped parts. Which film thickness, temperature control, and tool design are appropriate depends on the desired shape, the wall thickness distribution, and the subsequent function.
Different properties through additives
Additives specifically alter the properties of the film. Depending on the requirement, they can, for example, influence processing, appearance, or certain functional characteristics. What matters is not the additive alone, but the coordinated combination with the base material and the intended processing process.
Film thicknesses from 0.1 to 2.0 mm
The available film thickness influences the formability, stability, and design of the final component. Thin films are suitable for lightweight and material-efficient solutions. Larger thicknesses provide additional substance for more stable applications. We always consider film thickness in conjunction with geometry, depth of cut, load, and desired surface finish.
Multilayer structures with functionality
Multilayer films combine different material properties into one product. One layer can be responsible for formability, another for surface, color, or an additional functional property. This results in no standard film with compromises, but a coordinated structure in which each layer performs a defined function.
Colors as requested
PS film can be adapted to match the application, product design, or desired marking. Colors are not just a matter of aesthetics; they can also serve to distinguish components, design visible surfaces, or integrate into an existing product concept. From the selection of materials to the color matching, we view the film as an integral part of the overall solution.
Which PS film Does it suit you?
Not every application needs the same film. We think about the final component and together examine which thickness, structure, additives and color are suitable for your requirements.
PS film for deep-drawing applications
The ideal base for molded plastic solutions. Due to its excellent deep drawing properties, PS film is suitable for components where a defined geometry and economical molding must be combined.
- Very good formability in the deep drawing process
- Film thicknesses from 0.1 to 2.0 mm
- suitable for different component geometries
- Option to adjust film, tool and process
Additive PS film
If the properties of the standard film are insufficient, additives can be used to specifically enhance the material solution. Which additives are appropriate depends on the desired function, processing, and requirements for the finished component.
- Targeted adjustment of material properties
- Different designs for different requirements
- Adjustment of additive, film thickness and processing
- Development from the initial concept to the appropriate serial solution
Multilayer PS film
Multilayer structures allow the combination of various functions within a single film. The individual layers are thus coordinated so that they collectively meet the requirements for shape, surface, and function.
- functional combination of multiple layers
- Adaptation of the design to later use
- Combination of formability and additional material properties
- Solutions for more complex requirements than with a monofilament
Colored PS film
Colored films create design flexibility for visible components and individual product concepts. The color scheme can be adapted to existing components, brand worlds, or functional distinctions.
- customly matched colors
- Suitable optics for visible shaped parts
- Integration into existing product and design concepts
- Combination with single- or multi-layer structures possible
Special solutions
When standard films are not enough, we think further. Together, we develop solutions that are tailored exactly to your requirements – from the material selection to the film design and the serial production implementation.
- individual combination of film thickness, color and structure
- Additive and multi-layer solutions
- Consulting on appropriate processing and forming
- Thinking in terms of systems instead of individual components
Where PS film their strengths playing out
PS film is suitable for anywhere, where flat starting material needs to be converted into a defined shape and the material design must be adapted to the application.
Deep drawing technology
Formed covers, shells, inserts and custom-shaped components benefit from the good formability of the PS film. The film thickness and tool geometry are then adjusted to the desired shape and function.
Packaging and presentation solutions
Colored or multi-layer PS films can be used for visible and shaped packaging solutions. The film supports both the shaping process and the desired product effect.
Equipment and housing components
For covers, interior components and shaped components, PS film offers a versatile starting point. Additives, colors and different thicknesses allow for customization to suit the specific product concept.
Customized film solutions
Not every film is used as a standard product. Depending on the needs, roll-based production, cut-to-size production or a pre-configured solution are available. What is crucial is how the film is subsequently processed, shaped and integrated into the overall system.
Why Filzwieser for PS film in the film extrusion process?
PS film can only take advantage of its advantages when, if the material, film thickness, construction and processing match. Especially in deep drawing applications, the choice of material determines the final quality of the part. Multilayer designs and additive materials place additional requirements on material selection, extrusion, and process control.
Therefore, we consider not only the film itself, but the entire process leading up to its application. What geometry should be created? What thickness is appropriate? What function must an individual layer fulfill? What color suits the product? And is a single-layer solution sufficient or does a multi-layer structure offer real advantages?
From the initial idea to the serial production implementation, we accompany you in the development of your PS sheet metal solution.

Frequently asked questions
What is PS film?
PS film is a plastic film based on polystyrene. It is used as a flat starting material and can be further processed, colored, or added to, depending on the design. A special strength lies in its very good deep drawing properties.
What film thicknesses are possible?
PS film can be manufactured in thicknesses from 0.1 to 2.0 mm. The appropriate thickness depends on the desired geometry, the depth of the cut, the component stability, and the subsequent application. Therefore, we do not consider the film thickness in isolation, but as part of the overall material and process concept.
What do additives in PS film do?
Additives can specifically alter the properties of the film. Depending on the design, they influence, for example, processing, appearance, or certain functional characteristics. The additives used must be suitable for the application, the desired function, and the subsequent processing process.
When is a multi-layer film useful?
A multi-layer film is then interesting when different requirements must be met simultaneously. For example, one layer can support formability, while another is designed for surface finish, color, or additional functionality. This allows properties to be combined that would be difficult to achieve with a single layer of material.
Can PS film be colored?
Yes, PS film can be produced in different colors and adapted to the product design or application. The color scheme is considered in conjunction with the thickness of the film, the material structure, and the desired surface finish.
Is PS film suitable for deep drawing?
Yes. The very good shear properties make PS film a suitable base material for various shaped plastic solutions. However, for a reliable result, Film, tool, geometry and process are coordinated with each other will be.
What information does Filzwieser need to select the right PS film?
The planned component geometry, the desired film thickness, the depth of drawing, the color, the required functional properties, and the subsequent processing are important factors. Information about quantity, surface area and application environment also helps to develop the appropriate solution. Good plastic solutions arise where requirements are considered not individually but as a system.
