Even though this is a solid, this is made up of foam and whilst being made, carbon dioxide has been pumped into it, meaning that when you compress the polystyrene, the gas is whats being compressed, not the solid surrounding the gas.

Why does fish oil dissolve polystyrene?

Is styrene UV resistant?
The pure polystyrene is not resistant to UV radiation - yellowing effect in time. But a polystyrene with antioxidants as additives can resist much; this type of polystyrene is named light-stabilized.
Is styrofoam the same as polystyrene?
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
