What is polystyrene use for?
Disposable cutlery, plastic models, CD and DVD cases, and smoke detector housings. Products made from foamed polystyrene are nearly ubiquitous, for example packing materials, insulation, and foam drink cups.
Why polystyrene film is used for IR calibration?
the polystyrene film is cover all the ir range.
Is Thermopore and polyethylene same?
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
Why was methanol an appropriate solvent to precipitate polystyrene?
Methanol is used to force polystyrene OUT of solution. So the simple answer is: you can't. But, there is probably an extreme temperature or pressure that allows polystyrene to remain in solution with methanol present.
Is polystyrene recycleable?
polystyrene is a thermoplastic which means that it is a plastic that can be melted and molded into any shape. So basically, polystyrene is a plastic, though it can be molded when heated whereas normal plastics just melt in contact with heat.

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.
What can you do with polystyrene?

What materials are used to make the sony walkman?
a SONY-TPSL2 is made out of aluminium, for it's lightweight and cheap assets and HIP ( High Impact Polystyrene ) plastic for it's durability.
Why polystyrene film is used for IR calibration?
the polystyrene film is cover all the ir range.
Is polystyrene cheaper than foam in new zealand?
Polystyrene is a plastic polymer, and along with many polymers may be made into a foam. But it has a high fire hazard because of the entrained air. Indeed it is commonly used in that form in furniture, cars, packaging, refrigerators, and so on. A quite good thermal insulator. The solid polystyrene is widely used for rigid consumer products, and is a fair electrical insulator
What are the additives to make polystyrene biodegradable?
The most recent and safest additive that has been used to make polystyrene biodegradable is sugar, first used by chemists in India.
What glue is used to stick polystyrene plastic?
Polystyrene plastic is the main component of millions of plastic. There are a number of polystyrene glues available in model and hobby stores. Almost all are a form of Butanone. I prefer to use MEK for my models. Mek is a form of industrial butanone. Super glues can also be used in polystyrene plastic.
What is polystryrene used in?
Taken from Wikipedia: Pure solid polystyrene is a colorless, hard plastic with limited flexibility. It can be cast into molds with fine detail. Polystyrene can be transparent or can be made to take on various colours. It is economical and is used for producing plastic model assembly kits, license plate frames, plastic cutlery, CD "jewel" cases, and many other objects where a fairly rigid, economical plastic is desired.
