It wasnt, it was invented after the 1990's
Clean your hands with gasoline and then, with soap.
Styrofoam (as with Styrofoam Coolers ) Are A SolidAs foam cooler manufacturers, we at the LoBoy foam cooler company ( http://www.loboy.com ) can assure you that "Styrofoam" (better known these days as Expanded Polystyrene since nobody's running around buying actual styrofoam coolers ) is indeed a solid! When you buy a styrofoam cooler you're actually buying an EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam cooler and, yes, they are 100% recyclable if a recycler has the right equipment.
polystyrene foam (styrofoam cups and packaging materials) is soluble in acetone.It is not melted but dissolved.The acetone dissolves the long polymer strands releasing the trapped air(foam) and thus the structure collapses
Polystyrene is a plastic that can be made into many products, which can be dense, or can be in the form of a low density foam, called Styrofoam.
Thermopore is a brand name of Industrial Enterprises (Pvt.) Limited. This name was coined by the company in 1961 for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, which is the most commonly used material for insulation. Polystyrene & Polyethylene are two different materials having distinct characteristics due to difference in closed cell formation and chemical structure. Expanded Polystyrene is widely used for insulation and packing purposes due to its high insulative properties whereas the latter is mostly used for packing purposes
Expanded polystyrene foam.
maybe but we are asking if it was water proof.

Dissolve foam in xylene to desired thickness. Let stand until fine bubbles disperse and turns clear.
Polystyrene is often sold in bulk on a m3 (cubic meter) price in Europe The cost is also effected by the density of the polystyrene. That is assuming your talking of expanded polystyrene foam, polystyrene is also available in hard plastic sheet form. dunno

Rigid polystyrene plastic is a closed cell of light weight, rigid & foam plastic that is derived from petroleum and natural gas by products. It is hard plastic in one word. This is used to make plastic containers and insulators. On the other hand, expanded polystyrene is derived by expanding the regular foam molecules by 50 times their volume using a blowing agent (pentane gas). This is used to make packaging materials.

One can purchase polystyrene foam at many home improvement stores, such as Home Depot and Lowes. Polystyrene foam expands after it is applied, so it is a great gap filler in home improvement.
Styrofoam is made up of extruded polystyrene foam. Extruded polystyrene foam is also used in models and crafts, specifically architectural models.The primary ingredient is benzene.
polysterene foam can be one of the materials in making tiles.
Polystyrene is a plastic. I think you meant "polystyrene foam", which would be correct.
a synthetic thermoplastic material obtained by polymerizing styrene; used as a white rigid foam (expanded polystyrene) for insulating and packing and as a glasslike material in light fittings and water tanks
