What is polystyrene?

 

We benefit daily from products manufactured from polystyrene plastic, including thermal insulation for construction applications and cushion packaging for industrial and consumer applications.

There are two common types of polystyrene foam: extruded polystyrene (popularly known by its Dow trademark, Styrofoam®) and molded polystyrene. Most food service applications, including meat trays, egg cartons, hamburger clam shells, foam plates and trays, are extruded polystyrene. However, the common coffee cup is expanded polystyrene as is almost all industrial cushion packaging. This is the cellular white molded foam that is used to package televisions, stereos, computers, delicate electronic equipment and other fragile industrial and consumer products.

Both molded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene are used extensively as thermal insulation in industrial, commercial and residential construction.

 

What is molded polystyrene?

 

Molded Polystyrene is a thermoplastic, closed-cell, lightweight, rigid-foam plastic. The low thermal conductivity, high compressive, strength and excellent shock absorption properties of polystyrene make it an ideal material for residential and commmercial building insulation, shipping and packaging material, and to shape foundry patterns for metal casting.
