Foam - styrofoam is an excellent insulator. With a hot drink - you want it to remain hot - so you do NOT want heat to move out of the drink to the cooler outside. The styrofoam vastly reduces this heat flow.
With a cold drink, the reverse is true. You want it to remain cold so you do not want heat to move from your hand or the outside atmosphere into the drink. The styrofoam vastly reduces this heat flow.

How do foam cups decompose?
Foam cups are not easily biodegradable and can take hundreds of years to decompose in a landfill. They break down into smaller pieces due to exposure to sunlight, heat, and microbial action, but ultimately, the material persists in the environment for a long time. Recycling foam cups or using alternative materials can help reduce their environmental impact.
Are plastic cups better than polystyrene cups?
The majority of plastic cups can be reused or recycled. Polystyrene, or foam, cups are not widely recyclable. Cost wise, plastic cups tend to more inexpensive than polystyrene cups.
Is foam cup a source of CFC?
Foam cups are typically made from polystyrene, which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). However, some foam production processes in the past used CFCs as a blowing agent. Nowadays, many manufacturers have shifted to using more environmentally friendly alternatives, so most foam cups today do not contribute to CFC emissions.
What is the texture of a foam?
areated plastic"Foam" Is Actually Expanded Poloystyrene (EPS - Foam Coolers, Foam Cups, Etc.)When you buy foam cups or foam fishing buckets or even foam coolers like the ones we make at LoBoy, you're buying a product made of Expanded Polystyrene (or, "EPS" for short). EPS foam is an awesome, space-age material that is environmentally friendly because it is recyclable as long as it's not ruined by screen printing or other processes that eat into the foam with nasty industrial chemicals. Some EPS foam manufacturers mess up its recyclability by painting over the pure material rather than ensuring that it is reusable.Many products these days are made from EPS foam - floating boat docks, highway construction, homes (insulated walls), foam coolers, foam shipping containers that keep seafood and pharmaceuticals from spoiling (a shipping process known as "Cold Chain Shipping"), foam cups and plates, EPS foam packaging protection for many of the things we buy in stores.The thing about good EPS foam products is, again, that they can be recycled for reuse. LoBoy maintains a 100% EPS foam recycling program, and we hope to see most people begin setting aside the foam products they would normally throw away so that what usually goes in the trash instead becomes a form of treasure that leads to more jobs.
What is the best wall insulation for cold climates?
The best wall insulation for cold climates is typically foam insulation, such as rigid foam or spray foam. These types of insulation provide high levels of thermal resistance, helping to keep the cold out and the warmth in during winter months.
What is the use of foam cup?
Foam cups are commonly used for serving hot and cold beverages like coffee, tea, and soft drinks. They provide insulation to keep drinks hot or cold longer and are convenient for take-out orders or events where reusable cups are not ideal. However, they are not environmentally friendly as they are not easily recyclable or biodegradable.
Why do foam cups insulate better than glass cups?
Foam lets extra cold air reach the water
Why do people place coolie cups foam cup holders around their canned drinks?
People use coolie cup foam holders to insulate their canned drinks, helping to keep them colder for longer periods of time. The foam material provides a layer of insulation that prevents heat transfer from the surrounding environment to the drink inside the can. Additionally, the foam can absorb condensation from the cold drink, keeping hands dry and preventing slips.
What is a foam cup conductors or insulators?
Foam cups are typically insulators because they are made of Styrofoam, which is a material that does not conduct electricity well. This means that foam cups are not good conductors of heat or electricity, making them effective at keeping hot drinks hot without transferring heat to your hand.
WHY styrofoam cups keep liquid hot and cold?
Heat cannot travel through the foam material so the drink stays well insulated inside the foam cup.
Are soft drinks foam?
Soft drinks do not contain foam as an ingredient. However, when opened or poured, some carbonated soft drinks can produce foam due to the release of carbon dioxide gas.
What drinks have foam?
