Polystyrene
Polystyrene is a polymer derived from the monomer styrene and is widely used in various fields due to its lightness, strength and insulating properties.
Appearance: Polystyrene can take many forms depending on the application. It can be a hard, clear or white material, often found in the form of rigid plastic, such as in the form of plastic cups, utensils or packaging materials.
Packaging: Polystyrene is widely used in packaging due to its lightness and strength. It is often used to make foam packaging materials and containers.
Construction: In construction, polystyrene is used in the form of insulating materials. This can be used in the form of foam boards to insulate walls, floors and roofs.
Technical Products: Polystyrene is used to create a variety of technical products such as models, art projects, toys, and other products due to its lightness and dimensional stability.
Tableware and Packaging Materials: It is often used in the production of disposable tableware, glasses, plates, and food containers. These products are lightweight, stable and easy to use.
Industrial Applications: Polystyrene is used in industries to create a variety of products such as cases, panels, equipment parts due to its strength and moldability.
It is important to note that polystyrene, in particular polystyrene foam, can be susceptible to
