Introduction of PS
Polystyrene (PS) is a widely used synthetic polymer known for its versatility, affordability, and various forms, each suitable for different applications. It belongs to the family of thermoplastics and is characterized by its clarity, ease of processing, and wide range of properties. PS is commonly used in both its crystal-clear form and its foamed version, known as Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), which is used for insulation and packaging.
