No, both are different.
Polystyrene is a polymer of styrene (C6H5CH=CH2) whereas polyethylene is a polymer of ethylene (CH2=CH2).
Three examples of polymers are polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride.
Dyneema is generally stronger than polyethylene. Dyneema has a higher strength-to-weight ratio, making it a popular choice for specialized applications like ropes and body armor where strength and durability are critical. Polyethylene, on the other hand, is more commonly used in everyday products like plastic bags and containers.
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
In polystyrene, the composites commonly used are typically mineral fillers like talc and calcium carbonate. These composites help improve the mechanical properties and performance of the polystyrene, making it stronger and more heat-resistant.
No, grey packing foam sheets do not typically contain sulfur. They are usually made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyethylene foam, which do not contain sulfur in their composition.
The seven types of plastic are: Polyethylene terephthalate, High-density polyethylene, Polyvinyl chloride, Low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, Polystyrene, and an unnamed category consisting of plastics that do not fit into the other categories. Polystyrene is often called Styrofoam.

i think epoxy surfboards are. nevermind, that's polystyrene...

There are a variety of types of plastic. Some of these include Polystyrene (PS), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).
It refers to the type of plastic. 1 = polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) 2 = high density polyethylene (HDPE) 3 = polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 4 = low density polyethylene (LDPE) 5 = polypropylene (PP) 6 = polystyrene (PS) 7 = Other

They are similar but different. PVC is stronger & more rigid than polyethlene and is used for wastelines & polyethylene is used for water lines.
Polyethylene makes a garbage bag stronger!!!!!!!!!!!! dah
Plastic bags can be made of different polymer types such as: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Linear low-density polyethylene Higher density polyethylene polymers have stronger cross-links for linking large chains to another which is usually how plastic bags are able to stretch more and can hold heavier objects. Hence being stronger.
