Polystyrene, commonly known as Styrofoam, forms one of the most extensively used forms in plastics. Its characteristics of being hard and inexpensive have made its way in the use of a large variety of applications. If converted in the form of foam, polystyrene is used in insulating and for packaging as well. Polystyrene as stated above is used in many fields like construction, floatation, display and even food packaging. In the construction field, the EPS boards and sheets are used to provide sound and thermal insulation on the roofs, floors and in the walls. EPS is also known as the expanded polystyrene and is one of the most widely used forms of polystyrene. The other form of polystyrene being used is extruded polystyrene. The Loose beads of EPS aggregately are used in lightweight renderings, plasters and concrete. Apart from these, it is also used in the under-floor heating systems, permanent formwork, drainage boards, prefabricated wall systems and foundations. EPS has the property to remain unaffected by all kinds of microorganisms in the soil, so it is also ideal for the geothermic insulation done beneath the roads, in embankments and around foundations to prevent soil breakage due to freezing. Both extruded and expanded polystyrene being heat resistant, durable and lightweight are used in retail, pharmaceuticals and industrial fields. Their superb cushioning properties and the fact that they can designed in any way the product demands, makes them the top material for packaging and transportation. The expanded polystyrene is also best suitable for the packaging of fresh food and their transportation considering it is odorless and non-toxic which helps it keeping away bacteria and insects. Polystyrene although being light weighted is strong and has the ability to be molded in nearly any size and shape. Dairy and food containers, fast food containers, produce baskets, vending cups, closures and lids include a huge market of polystyrene commercially. It is used in the manufacturing of toys, domestic appliances, household goods, furniture and many electronic items. As polystyrene has the recyclable property so, the heat emitted by a recycled polystyrene product is recovered with the help of special incinerators. This in turn makes it a big energy source. The recycled polystyrene is cut into small pieces and chips to be used with peat to increase the soil properties. www.polystyreneps.com is counted as the best option for polystyrene, its uses, benefits and applications.
