Polystyrene(PS)

Polystyrene (PS) is a synthetic aromatic polymer made from the monomer styrene, a liquid petrochemical. Polystyrene can be rigid or foamed. Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics, the scale of its production being several billion kilograms per year.
Polystyrene (PS) can be divided into 2 types as follows:
