Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Polystyrene (PS) occurs most frequently in two forms: one as a solid plastic and the other as an expanded polymer that can be used either for foam — commonly known styrofoam. Accordingly, these two PS forms do not possess the same physical properties and hence different applications.

The elasticity modulus of polystyrene ranges from 0.7 to 1.4 N/mm2 (760.

 

  • Solid Plastic. General Purpose Polystyrene(GPPS) High impact Polystyrene
  • Foam. Expanded Polystyrene(EPS) Extruded Polystyrene(XPS)
  • Films.

 

Polystyrene is less susceptible as compared to other plastics, This means polystyrene does not photolyse so easily i.e. break apart into harmful chemical components in the presence of light. The degradation process could leach toxic substances during up to 500 years of use in the case of a foam coffee cup.

Disadvantages of Polystyrene include:

  • Brittle, poor resistance to organic chemicals.
  • Prone to UV degeneration
  • Flammable.

The best thing that can be said about polystyrene is how an item made of it will outlast us by many orders of magnitude, and this characteristic alone makes for one helluva headache. When it comes to the environment, once there due its remarkable chemical stability – some form of PFAS will cycle through for generations.

Polystyrene is a type of polymer that is transparent, rigid, brittle, and moderately strong in its unmodified state. It is a plastic made by polymerization, which combines the building block compound called styrene

Insulation Ingredients * The 2 kinds of foamed polystyrene– EPS as well as XPS (extruded polystyrene) are utilized to protect for 2 factors. Polystyrene in the first place has a high thermal resistance, thus shifting to heat transfer. Second, polystyrene foam is made up of millions of tiny air bubbles which are very poor conductors of heat.
