Transparent plastic cups, packaging foam is made of polystyrene

   Polystyrene (commonly known as benzene) refers to the styrene monomer by free radical polycondensation reaction of the polymer, the English name for the Polystyrene, referred to as PS, belonging to a polyolefin.

    The material is resistant to vibration, moisture, thermal insulation, sound insulation, light weight and other characteristics, widely used in building wall insulation, electronics, electrical appliances, cold storage, greenhouse, storage and solar energy and other applications. The main use of the characteristics of polystyrene to create a variety of insulation sheet, EPE (polyethylene foam) foam packaging products. For ordinary type, flame-retardant foam flat, to undertake all types of electrical appliances, pipes and fragile items design and packaging.

    Transparent plastic cups, packaging foam is made of polystyrene. Polystyrene can also be copolymerized with other rubber types of polymer materials to produce a variety of different mechanical properties of the product, the daily life of the common application of a variety of disposable plastic tableware, transparent CD box and so on.

    As polystyrene foam tableware cheap, convenient, in line with business profit requirements and fast-paced life trend, but also to prevent disinfection caused by cross-infection accident, has long been a fast food preferred packaging containers. However, this tableware is not easy to use in the natural environment after degradation, coupled with poor management of the environment and people's awareness of environmental protection is weak, the waste was arbitrarily discarded the phenomenon is quite common, so as to the city landscape, the ecological environment caused serious negative influence, the image of the metaphor for the "white pollution", which triggered a new environmental problems. So, we should think the styrofoam disposal to deal with the problem. With the social production and life continue to move forward, the severity of ethylene foam tableware escalating.

        Burning will produce a lot of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, resulting in harmful gases can cause personal poisoning. In the warm industry, polystyrene is often used as a warm insulation material. Long in a high temperature environment, the polystyrene will quickly deteriorate, and will release formaldehyde, free benzene and other harmful to the human body, serious also cause cancer.
