Polystyrene is a versatile synthetic aromatic polymer made from the monomer styrene, widely used in packaging, insulation, and disposable consumer products. Its lightweight, rigid structure offers excellent thermal insulation and shock absorption properties, making it ideal for food containers, insulation panels, and protective packaging. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) are common forms that vary in density and application, with EPS favored in packaging and XPS in construction. Due to its recyclability and cost-effectiveness, polystyrene remains a crucial material in various industrial and commercial sectors.
