What else can I help you with?
What do they use for packaging material when shipping styrofoam?
styrofoam
Is there asbestos in styrofoam cups?
No, styrofoam cups do not contain asbestos. Styrofoam is a type of plastic material while asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance and insulating properties, but it is not used in the production of styrofoam products.
How do you spell stirophom?
Originally a brand name for polystyrene foam, "styrofoam" is used as a generic term for beaded or extruded plastic foam material.
What is the phase of a dispersed material in styrofoam?
The dispersed material in styrofoam is air. The air is trapped within the polymer matrix of polystyrene beads, giving styrofoam its lightweight and insulating properties.
What is the best material to stick something to a Styrofoam ball?
A strong adhesive like hot glue or epoxy resin would work well to stick something to a Styrofoam ball. Be cautious with any adhesive that contains solvents, as they could damage the Styrofoam.
How well does styrofoam float?
Styrofoam is a very lightweight and buoyant material, making it an excellent floater. It is commonly used in packaging and insulation because of its ability to easily float on water.
What causes styrofoam to stick together?
Styrofoam sticks together due to the polystyrene material softening when exposed to a solvent or heat, allowing the pieces to fuse together upon cooling. Pressure or adhesives can also be used to bond styrofoam pieces.
Is a styrofoam ball A a conductor or insulator?
Styrofoam is an insulator, which means it does not conduct electricity well. This is due to its molecular structure that does not allow the free flow of electrons. Styrofoam balls are often used in crafts and as packaging material due to their insulating properties.
What could you use instead of Styrofoam?
i believe you could use wood when you dont have styrofoam
What type of material is Styrofoam?
Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, which is a long polymer chain. It is a hydrocarbon chain with every other carbon connected to a Phenyl group (an aromatic ring similar to benzene).See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a picture and more information.
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
What are the properties of styrofoam?
Styrofoam insulates well, is buoyant and lightweight, can be easily cut or torn to precise sizes and shapes, retains its shape when wet and is relatively inexpensive to purchase. Styrofoam is not biodegradable and not easily recyclable. Styrofoam consists of approximately 98 percent air.
