Polystyrene is a type of thermoplastic polymer primarily composed of styrene. Due to its properties such as lightweight, rigidity, and good resistance to impacts and moisture, it finds wide applications in various industries.
To produce polystyrene, styrene is polymerized into a liquid form at high temperatures along with catalysts and polymerization initiators. Then, this liquid is molded into various shapes and solidified upon cooling.
One of the main applications of PS is in the packaging industry. Packaging made of this polymer material is well-suited for packaging sensitive and fragile products due to its lightweight and resistance. Additionally, in the automotive industry, polystyrene is used for making interior parts of vehicles due to its lightweight nature and impact resistance.
Moreover, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is another important application of this material. This foam is used for thermal and sound insulation in buildings, packaging, and making containers for temperature preservation.
Additionally, High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is used in various industries where increased strength and impact resistance are required. This type of polystyrene is utilized as decorative materials in packaging, toy manufacturing, and similar applications. These PS will be exported with the HS code 39039000.
