Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam Products From Foam Cups To Foam Coolers To Houses And Highways!Expanded Polystyrene is the core material used for making thousands of different products, everything from foam coolers like we make at LoBoy EPS Foam Coolers in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, to floating boat docks, to custom home construction, highway and bridge construction, cups and party-ware, cd cases and protective packaging, plus EPS foam is very popular in Cold Chain Shipping (using eps foam shipping coolers to ship food across long distances to keep the food (or medicine) cold during transit). EPS foam is even used for furniture, home and business decor (there are some really beautiful architectural examples to be found in web searches).
The reason for this is that it is an environmentally friendly, moldable plastic derived from crude oil. Of course, it's only environmentally friendly (as with anything) when it is not manufactured in combination with non-friendly stuff such as when a manufacturer ruins its recyclability by coating it with painted logos that are toxic. Non-toxic paints are best, but even that can interfere with practical recycling because you take a white material and mix in paint and when it's recycled you get a gnarly rainbow that you have to try to reuse. Better to use stamping directly into the EPS foam or just use adhesive labels. That way, the foam is completely reusable.
At the LoBoy Foam Cooler company, we always recommend that people stop throwing away EPS foam products and start setting it aside until they have enough to take to be recycled. It's better for the planet (why make trash when you can convert trash to treasure?) and it helps create jobs.

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 egg cartons made of?
Some are made of cardboard and some of plastic or polystyrene foam.
What is an egg carton made out of?
some are made from recycled paper fiber, others from plastic, while the most common are made of polystyrene foam.
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
Why is the glass transition temperature of polystyrene greater than of polypropylene?
Higher the glass transition temperature of the polystyrene can be attributed to the fact that sterically rigid bulky aromatic moieties like benzene in the styrene compared to that of aliphatic polypropylene
What is polystyrene made?
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.

What is Polystyrene beads made from?
Yes, polystyrene beads are safe to use. One can learn more about polystyrene beads at popular on the web sources such as Tempo Foam, eHow, and Wise Geek.
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.
Why are lifesaving rings made of Polystyrene?
Life rings are often made of polystyrene because it is lightweight, durable, and floats on water. This makes it easy to throw to someone in distress and provides buoyancy to keep them afloat until rescue. Additionally, polystyrene is resistant to water damage and can withstand exposure to the elements.
What element makes up polystyrene?
Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene. This monomer is a liquid petrochemical and can be rigid or foam.
