Yes, Regifoam is a type of expanded polystyrene foam commonly used in packaging material and insulation. It is produced from polystyrene resin that is expanded with the help of steam to create a cellular structure, giving it its lightweight and insulating properties.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is formed from only one monomer - styrene.
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
Yes, polystyrene can be frozen. Freezing polystyrene can help preserve food or keep it fresh for longer periods. However, extreme temperature changes can cause polystyrene to become brittle and potentially crack.
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
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. Hope I helped :-)
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable

Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
Polystyrene is primarily derived from petroleum. If oil runs out, alternative methods such as using plant-based inputs or recycled materials could be explored to produce polystyrene. Research and development in sustainable materials could also lead to new ways of creating polystyrene without relying on oil.
Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
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.
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
