Fire melts Styrofoam, also known as polyurethane.

Mostly extreme heat can melt any foam or plastic-like object. Unless that object is made with Mylar or asbestos.

Why acetone melts styrofoam?

Acetone can dissolve styrofoam because it breaks down the structure of polystyrene, the main component of styrofoam. When acetone is in contact with styrofoam, it can weaken the bonds holding the polystyrene molecules together, causing the styrofoam to melt or dissolve.

How does styrophone melts because of glue?

Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, which is a type of plastic that can be dissolved by certain chemicals found in glue. When glue comes into contact with styrofoam, it breaks down the polystyrene molecules, causing the material to melt or soften. The glue essentially eats away at the styrofoam, causing it to lose its shape and structure.

In which cup does ice melt faster a plactic stirophone or paper and why?

Ice will typically melt faster in a plastic or styrofoam cup compared to a paper cup. This is because plastic and styrofoam are better insulators, meaning they transfer heat more efficiently than paper. Therefore, the heat from the surroundings will more readily reach the ice in a plastic or styrofoam cup, causing it to melt faster.


Are styrofoam sheets used in place of sheet rock when building a garage in a single family home?

No! Absolutely not. OK, I'm no building inspector but my understanding is that sheet rock is used because of it's excellent resistance to fire (it's made of powdered rock). Styrofoam melts like cotton candy under heat. If you are renting a property with exposed styrofoam, call the local government's building inspector and ask what you should do.
