no because it is made out of oil which is a fossil fuel and there is not much it is running out and if you want it to be sustainable you will have to be like america and invade other countries with oil
It depends on what kind of TV you have (LCD plasma old new). television housing can be made from polystyrene like POLYSTYRENE IMPACT 6540.
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.
not actually sure
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.

high impact polystyrene
HIPS High Impact Polystyrene is particularly suitable for thermoforming, it is a tough, rigid material and its high impact strength means it can be guillotined, punched, routered or sawn without difficulty.
High-Impact Polystyrene, HIPS´ve a density = 1,06 gr/cc
It is a thermoplastic! :)
i recently found this out and hips stands for high impact polystyrene but iam not actually sure what its used for
No, high Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a thermoplastic. It melts when heated.
because it can protect the DVD cos it is hard and brittle. Hope this helps
No. High impact polystyrene is a very hard plastic. If you tried doing a lost-foam casting you'd just make a mess.You make a lost-foam casting by creating a styrofoam model of your finished piece, packing casting sand around it to create a mold, then pouring metal into the mold. When the hot metal touches the foam, it vaporizes.You could make your model out of high impact polystyrene then use that to create a cope and drag mold.

Ordinary polystyrene is better known as cristal polystyrene or GPPS (General purpose polystyrene) It is a hard very transparant and britlle plastic. One of the best know uses is cd-box. To improve the toughness of this plastic rubber is added during the manufacture. This synthetic rubber (polybutadiene) is divided trough the polystyrene in the form of small droplets ,The size and the composition of the rubber droplets will determine final properties. A lot of applications will be made with mixtures of GPPS and HIPS (HIPS is high impact polystyrene). The stiffness of HIPS is a lot lower than the stiffness of GPPS, hence the mixtures. One well known application is yoghurt cups.
Unfilled polystyrene is also known as crystal polystyrene (PS) or general purpose polystyrene (GPPS). However, since crystal polystyrene is brittle, other polymers are added to polystyrene to improve its strength, and copolymers are formed as a result. One such copolymer is high impact polystyrene (HIPS), which is produced by adding polybutadiene rubber to polystyrene during the polymerization process. HIPS is tougher and has a greater impact strength than unfilled polystyrene. There are different types of polystyrene. Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is one form of the polymer that has high tensile strength, with good elasticity. It is commonly known as Styrofoam™. The other common form of polystyrene is expanded polystyrene (EPS). Both EPS and XPS are made from similar materials but there are difference between the two. XPS has a higher density as compared to EPS, due to the absence of air passages between its cells. The higher density makes XPS more rigid and strong. Also, XPS is waterproof and is an effective thermal insulator. Read more in the related link.
