1. What is PS (Polystyrene) resin?

Is a thermoplastic (Polymer) called Polystyrene (referred to as PS), made up of Styrene polymerization. The structural formula of Polystyrene is (CH [C6H5] -CH2) n.

2. Properties of PS Plastic (Polystyrene)

PS (Polystyrene) hard plastic is transparent, odorless, burning for an unstable flame.

Colorless and easy to create color, beautiful appearance, easy to process by injection and injection molding method (Processing temperature is about (180-200) ° C).

PS (Polystyrene) is a type of thermoplastic, this is a plastic that melts into a liquid under the effect of high temperatures and hardens when cooled. Thermoplastics are more than 40 types and by the mid 1900s thermoplastics were widely used.

 In the thermoplastic line, PS (Polystyrene) resin belongs to the styrene family, among which there are also plastic lines belonging to the same styrene family as PS (Polystyrene) which are Acrylonitrin butadien styrene (ABS), Styrene - Acrylonitrin (SAN), plastic Styrene - Butadiene (SB).

 3. Uses of PS Plastic (Polystyrene)

PS plastic (Polystyrene) is used in the manufacture of plastic foam containers for food, plastic CD covers, DVDs, children's toys, computers, hair dryers, kitchen appliances.
