Expanded polystyrene will initially float on top of the water's surface, but if in permanent contact with water it has a tendency to absorb water very slowly (over a period of weeks) until it becomes waterlogged, at which time it may either float just at the surface or slowly sink.
Because it is less dense than water. Dense objects go down while less dense objects float.
They're made of foam o.o
yes, it think?
Yes
Some plastics will float in water and others will sink. It depends on the type of plastic and in particular it depends on the density of the plastic material. This property is used as a method for separating the different plastics sent for recycling. Polyethylene and Polypropylene, for example, will float in water while PVC and ABS will sink.

Yes. It explodes when it touches heat.
CPP film is a plastic extrusion made of polypropylene. BOPP films are bi-directional polypropylene. CPP film is high gloss, has good transparency, is heat resistant, and water resistant.
Polypropylene float on oil.
The density of polypropylene is almost the same as water. Remember that for an object to float it must have a density lower than that of the fluid in which it is being floated. Polypropylene density is slightly less than water but like any other material it can be made to float by molding it into a shape that displaces water eg a boat is made of steel which is more dense than water but it displaces a large mass of water.
There are a few things to consider when determining if polypropylene line would be good for an anchor on a boat. First, polypropylene line is not as strong as other types of rope, so it may not be able to hold the anchor in place in rough conditions. Second, polypropylene line is not as durable as other types of rope and may break down over time. Finally, polypropylene line is not as buoyant as other types of rope, so it may not float as well and could sink.

Polypropylene is not dissolved in ethanol.
The abbreviation for polypropylene is PP.
I've never heard anyone call polypropylene antifreeze. Polypropylene is a type of plastic.
There is no glue in polypropylene.
Yes polypropylene will rust because the air is congaus.
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer used in many applications..
