Polystyrene（Cat No.:M003890）, is a widely used synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of styrene monomers. It is a versatile plastic known for its rigid and transparent properties, often used in packaging materials, disposable cutlery, CD/DVD cases, and insulation. Polystyrene can exist in various forms, including expandable polystyrene (EPS) used in foam products and high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) known for its toughness.
