What are the uses of polystyrene?
Food and dairy containers, produce baskets, fast food containers, closures and vending cups and lids comprise the biggest commercial market of polystyrene. Polystyrene is also used in the durable goods industry in the manufacturing of domestic appliances, toys, household goods, electronic goods and furniture. Because polystyrene is not susceptible to rough treatment it is favoured for use as packing materials. Polystyrene is used to protect goods that are shipped by stabilising the items inside the containers. Used for mail order due to its lightweight aspects, polystyrene doesn't add much to postage costs. The food industry uses polystyrene for climate control to keep produce fresh during transportation. Polystyrene is a common insulation product for walls, cavities, lofts and floors. Hope I helped :-)

Is pink insulation fireproof?
"Fireproof" is a little ambiguous (as, for that matter, is "pink insulation.").I believe that Owens-Corning holds a trademark on the color pink for insulating materials, but they make several types in that color.Fiberglas insulation (the pink fluffy stuff) is non-flammable ... the paper backing can burn, but the pink part is, basically, glass, and just melts without burning. It's not "fireproof" because, as mentioned, it WILL melt if the temperature gets high enough.The pink foam sheets are polystyrene (basically, styrofoam) and are nowhere near fireproof in any sense.
