Polystyrene is a plastic that can be made into many products, which can be dense, or can be in the form of a low density foam, called Styrofoam.
Styrofoam is an expanded polystyrene. It has no application as glue.
liquid !!
Styrofoam (as with Styrofoam Coolers ) Are A SolidAs foam cooler manufacturers, we at the LoBoy foam cooler company ( http://www.loboy.com ) can assure you that "Styrofoam" (better known these days as Expanded Polystyrene since nobody's running around buying actual styrofoam coolers ) is indeed a solid! When you buy a styrofoam cooler you're actually buying an EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam cooler and, yes, they are 100% recyclable if a recycler has the right equipment.
Plastic is bad for the environment and foam isnt
polystyrene foam (styrofoam cups and packaging materials) is soluble in acetone.It is not melted but dissolved.The acetone dissolves the long polymer strands releasing the trapped air(foam) and thus the structure collapses
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
All properties except the glassy state: Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, a solid with the random structure of a liquid. This is called a glassy state or a glas.
Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is plastic.
Styrofoam is a form of polystyrene - (C8H8)n.
Styrofoam is an expanded polystyrene. It has no application as glue.
Styrofoam is made up of extruded polystyrene foam. Extruded polystyrene foam is also used in models and crafts, specifically architectural models.The primary ingredient is benzene.
No, it's not, though it's better than you might think if you equate polystyrene with Styrofoam. Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, but it's the trapped air that makes it such a good insulator.
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.
The Styrofoam was invented in 1941.

Expanded polystyrene foam.
Do you mean polystyrene, otherwise known as styrofoam?
