POLYSTYRENE ( PS<\/strong> ) , is\u00a0a naturally transparent\u00a0thermoplastic\u00a0that is available as both a typical solid plastic as well in the form of a rigid foam material. PS plastic is commonly used in a variety of consumer product applications and is also particularly useful for commercial packaging.<\/p>\n

Polystyrene ( PS ) is a synthetic\u00a0aromatic<\/a>\u00a0hydrocarbon<\/a>\u00a0polymer<\/a>\u00a0made from the\u00a0monomer<\/a>\u00a0known as\u00a0styrene<\/a>.\u00a0Polystyrene can be solid or foamed. General-purpose polystyrene is clear, hard, and rather brittle. It is an inexpensive resin per unit weight. It is a rather poor barrier to oxygen and water vapor and has a relatively low melting point.<\/p>\n

\nProduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Polystyrene is an\u00a0addition polymer<\/a>\u00a0that results when styrene\u00a0monomers<\/a>\u00a0interconnect (polymerization<\/a>). In the polymerization, the carbon-carbon\u00a0\u03c0 bond<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0vinyl group<\/a>\u00a0is broken and a new carbon-carbon\u00a0\u03c3 bond<\/a>\u00a0is formed, attaching to the carbon of another styrene monomer to the chain. Since only one kind of monomer is used in its preparation, it is a homopolymer. The newly formed \u03c3 bond is stronger than the \u03c0 bond that was broken, thus it is difficult to depolymerize polystyrene. About a few thousand monomers typically comprise a chain of polystyrene, giving a\u00a0molecular weight<\/a>\u00a0of 100,000\u2013400,000 g\/mol.<\/p>\n

Different Types of Polystyrene<\/h2>\n

The three most important grades of styrene are:
\nGPPS<\/a>: General purpose polystyrene, also known as crystal-clear polystyrene, is a fully transparent, rigid\u00a0and rather brittle low cost thermoplastic made from styrene monomer. GPPS is a solid product manufactured in the form of 2-5 mm pellets.
\nHIPS<\/strong><\/a>: High impact polystyrene contains usually 5 to 10% rubber (butadiene) and is used for parts which require high(er) impact resistance. HIPS is a graft copolymer having polystyrene sidearms. The grafting occurs when some of the radicals react with the double bonds of the polybutadiene.
\nEPS<\/u><\/strong>: Expandable polystyrene consists of micro-pellets or beads containing a blowing agent (usually pentane). The expanded or foamed polystyrene is thermally insulating, has high impact resistance and good process ability.
\nStyrenic Copolymers<\/strong>\u00a0and their blends are considered engineering thermoplastics because their properties can be tailored over a wide range for a large number of applications with a broad range of processing methods which permits the manufacture of high quality, very durable plastic products suitable for many demanding applications.<\/p>\n

\nApplications<\/h3>\n

Polystyrene is used in a wide range of applications, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Household appliances.<\/li>\n
  • Consumer electronics products.<\/li>\n
  • Building and constructions, for example insulation foam, panels, bath and shower units, lighting and plumbing fixtures.<\/li>\n
  • Medical items such as tissue culture trays, test tubes, petri dishes, diagnostic components, and housing for test kits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
