Food and dairy containers, produce baskets, fast food containers, closures and vending cups and lids comprise the biggest commercial market of polystyrene. Polystyrene is also used in the durable goods industry in the manufacturing of domestic appliances, toys, household goods, electronic goods and furniture.
Because polystyrene is not susceptible to rough treatment it is favoured for use as packing materials. Polystyrene is used to protect goods that are shipped by stabilising the items inside the containers. Used for mail order due to its lightweight aspects, polystyrene doesn't add much to postage costs. The food industry uses polystyrene for climate control to keep produce fresh during transportation. Polystyrene is a common insulation product for walls, cavities, lofts and floors.

What type of plastic is a plastic disposable cup made of?
Polystyrene. the opaque white cups that you can make fingernails impressions in, are foamed polystyrene. Clear sups that you get on an airplane are general-purpose polystyrene.
What are the uses of polystrene?
Polystyrene in its foamed state is often used as an insulating material, or in packaging to protect goods in transit. In its rigid state, it can be used to manufacture many diverse goods.

Is polypropylene better than polystyrene?
That depends on how you define "better" and what you're using it for.
Weight of polystyrene?
The mass of polystyrene is easily estimated looking at its mass spectrum. The spectrum has the shape of a comb with a large number of teeth. Teeth are equally spaced. In the region between 1000 and 3000, the spacing is 104.12 g/mol. In the region between 3000 and 6000, the spacing is 104.18 g/mol. If the and the spacing is approximately 104.12 g/mol. The spacing changes

What are the differences between expanded polystyrene and polystyrene, and how do these differences impact their respective uses and applications?
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a lightweight, rigid foam material made by expanding polystyrene beads. It is commonly used for insulation, packaging, and construction due to its excellent thermal insulation properties and shock-absorbing capabilities. Polystyrene, on the other hand, is a solid plastic material that is more rigid and dense than EPS. It is often used in food packaging, disposable cups, and other products requiring a solid plastic material. The differences in density and structure between EPS and polystyrene impact their uses and applications. EPS is preferred for applications requiring lightweight insulation and cushioning, while polystyrene is better suited for products that need a more solid and rigid material.
Is polystyrene biodegradable?

Why is polystyrene called polystyrene?
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.

What is the other name for polystyrene?

What country is polystyrene from?
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
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.
What is styrofoam cups made of?
