What are the materials in styrofoam used as glue?

Answer 1

You can use a solvent free epoxy adhesive. These adhesives do not have any solvents that will eat the Styrofoam and will bond it to itself, other plastics, wood, metal etc. It is easy to use because it does not run, will gap fill and is paintable and sandable.

3M Spray Adhesive for Styrofoam™ is a fast way to bond Styrofoam™ to itself and to other materials such as paper, fabric and foil. The nozzle can create a variable spray pattern of narrow (1-inch) to wide (3-inches), allowing you to target the specific area to be sprayed. This spray adhesive will not melt or dissolve craft foam.

COMMONLY USED SURFACE-TO-SURFACE APPLICATIONS ARE:* Polystyrene * Foam Core * Paper * Fabric * Wood

Answer 2

White glue, , yellow carpenter's or wood glue, polyurethane (Gorilla) glue, and epoxy all work with styrofoam. Foam safe or odorless cyanoacrylate (CA) glue also works. Do not use regular CA or super glue. It will melt the foam.

BTW, the other answerer is correct that the glue joint will likely be stronger than the material itself. This is no reason not to go ahead and glue it anyway.
