Polystyrene is an effective insulator due to its low thermal conductivity, which minimizes heat transfer. When used to cover or contain water, it reduces heat loss by preventing the escape of warmth from the water into the cooler surrounding air. Additionally, polystyrene traps air in its structure, which further enhances its insulating properties. As a result, water remains warm for a longer period.
What else can I help you with?
What can you use to keep a soda can warm?
A 'snug fit' polystyrene holder.
How does a polystyrene cup keep drinks warm?
because it does
How can a polyfoam container keep food warm?
well a polystyrene cup conducts heat so that is how it keeps your drink warm
Which type of cups keep hot water hottest polystyrene plastic glass?
Polystyrene is a plastic. I think you meant "polystyrene foam", which would be correct.
Why are lifesaving rings made of Polystyrene?
Life rings are often made of polystyrene because it is lightweight, durable, and floats on water. This makes it easy to throw to someone in distress and provides buoyancy to keep them afloat until rescue. Additionally, polystyrene is resistant to water damage and can withstand exposure to the elements.
Is polystyrene less dence than water?
yes polystyrene is ls less dence than water because it floats
Can polystyrene sink in water?
No, polystyrene is less dense than water, so it will float on the water's surface rather than sink.
How do you keep hot water warm with out using termos?
You can keep it warm by keeping it out in the sun. If there is no sun, than I don't know how it will it will stay warm.
Can POLYSTYRENE be frozen?
Yes, polystyrene can be frozen. Freezing polystyrene can help preserve food or keep it fresh for longer periods. However, extreme temperature changes can cause polystyrene to become brittle and potentially crack.
What does the seal's fur do?
they help them to keep warm in the water.
Which cup keeps hot water the hottest polystyrene or metal?
Polystyrene (especially the expanded "Styrofoam (R)" type) is a good insulator. Metals are good conductors of heat.The insulating cup will maintain a greater heat differential than the conductor so if there is a liquid in the cup that is at a greater temperature than the surroundings, the metal cup will loose more heat than the polystyrene cup.
How does cotton keep you warm when wet?
Cotton when wet exhibits a capillary effect and wicks much water into its volume. It does not keep you warm.
