Product type
General purpose polystyrene is a versatile thermoplastic polymer known for its clarity, rigidity, and ease of processing. It is produced from the polymerization of styrene monomers and is typically available in both solid and foam forms. This material is widely used in various applications due to its excellent electrical insulation properties and low moisture absorption.
