What else can I help you with?
Is styrofoam a homogenous mixture?
No, styrofoam is not a homogeneous mixture. Styrofoam is a type of plastic foam made of expanded polystyrene beads that are fused together, resulting in a material with distinct air pockets and solid components.
Is Styrofoam transparent?
No, Styrofoam is not transparent. It is an opaque material, meaning that light does not pass through it easily and it is not see-through.
Does bleach hurt styrofoam?
Yes, bleach can dissolve and damage styrofoam because it creates a chemical reaction that breaks down the styrofoam material. It is recommended to avoid using bleach around styrofoam to prevent damage.
What is the scientific name of styrofoam?
Styrofoam doesn't have a scientific name, since it is an object, but the closest would be it's official name, polystyrene thermal insulation material.
What are the properties of styrofoam?
Styrofoam insulates well, is buoyant and lightweight, can be easily cut or torn to precise sizes and shapes, retains its shape when wet and is relatively inexpensive to purchase. Styrofoam is not biodegradable and not easily recyclable. Styrofoam consists of approximately 98 percent air.
Is there asbestos in styrofoam cups?
No, styrofoam cups do not contain asbestos. Styrofoam is a type of plastic material while asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance and insulating properties, but it is not used in the production of styrofoam products.
What do they use for packaging material when shipping styrofoam?
styrofoam
Is styrofoam a homogenous mixture?

What type of glue sticks to styrofoam?
A type of glue that sticks well to styrofoam is called polystyrene adhesive or styrofoam glue.
What is the phase of a dispersed material in styrofoam?
The dispersed material in styrofoam is air. The air is trapped within the polymer matrix of polystyrene beads, giving styrofoam its lightweight and insulating properties.
What type of glue can be used on styrofoam?
You can use white craft glue or a special type of glue called styrofoam adhesive to bond styrofoam together.
What is the lightest cheapest material for building seating?

Why is Styrofoam a good insulator?
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.
Is Styrofoam transparent?
No, Styrofoam is not transparent. It is an opaque material, meaning that light does not pass through it easily and it is not see-through.
