What is the function of Styrofoam containers?

To contain things. The Styrofoam is an insulator so it will also tend to maintain the temperature of the thing it contains for a time. Thus if the thing contained in a hot liquid, one would be able to hold the container comfortably.


How do I keep an object cold that is near a heat source long term doesn't have to be more then a few degrees?

The best available insulation is a vacuum flask; failing that, Styrofoam is quite effective as well. Put something in a sealed Styrofoam container with some ice, and it will stay cold for a long time, even if it is near a heat source (within reason; too much heat will destroy the Styrofoam, of course).


Is liquid styrene flammable?

It is the worst insulator because all the small holes in it makes all the heat that it is holding in come out.Plus it is bad to the enviroment.ANS 2 High density styrofoam is an excellent insulator. -Some people just don't understand that all styrofoam is NOT the same, it comes in many grades.

How do you make a mask out of a styrofoam ball?

The one I've seen is a Mardi Gras mask. Cut a paper plate in half. Glue (or staple) a craft stick to the lower corner of the flat side. Cut a slot to look through. Cut a 3" (or so) Styrofoam ball in half, glue glitter or paint with glitter paint, glue to paper plate just above the slot, as two eyes. Hold mask in front of face. If desired, paint or glue other face features on mask. Staple two craft pipe cleaners to the top of the mask as antenna.I have also heard that some people use a large Styrofoam ball as a base to make a papermache mask, which is then removed.See also, "How do you make a mask out of a sheet of Styrofoam?"
