What is the difference between rigid polystyrene plastic and expanded polystyrene?
Rigid polystyrene plastic is a closed cell of light weight, rigid & foam plastic that is derived from petroleum and natural gas by products. It is hard plastic in one word. This is used to make plastic containers and insulators. On the other hand, expanded polystyrene is derived by expanding the regular foam molecules by 50 times their volume using a blowing agent (pentane gas). This is used to make packaging materials.

How can I effectively glue polystyrene foam together?
To effectively glue polystyrene foam together, you can use a special adhesive called polystyrene cement or a hot glue gun. Apply the adhesive sparingly to avoid melting the foam, and hold the pieces together firmly until the glue sets. Make sure to work in a well-ventilated area when using these adhesives.
Can i use high impact polystyrene for lost foam casting?
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.

Is polystyrene good for making an airplane?
Polystyrene can be used to make model aircraft (I'm assuming that's what you meant!) . Depron foam is better than white beaded foam because it is easier to sand and make smooth, also it is easier to repair if you crash the aircraft. If you can only get thin sheets of the stuff, simply glue them together.

Drinking from a Styrofoam cup is impossible because they do not exist. You might think I'm crazy by saying that but they don't. Styrofoam is a brand name made by the DOW company.

What is made out of polystyrene?
Ordinary CD jewel cases.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.
