Try to stay away from plastics for a day, I dare you. Take refuge in nature at a nearby park. That might work except for the fact that the model airplane you're flying and the foam plates you're eating your picnic lunch on are made of plastic. There's no escaping polystyrene.
Polystyrene, also known as PS, is one of the seven major plastics. Influencing everyday life in a myriad of ways, polystyrene is an invaluable resin. If there was a superhero movie made about this plastic it wouldn't be called "Polystyrene Man" or even "I am Number Six" (which is pretty creative since its recycling code is six, get it?), nope, PS is far too iconic for fads like that.
As one of the clearest plastics, polystyrene can be utilized to showcase striking product samples. Look through our collection of PS jars and packer bottles for notable choices. If you're concerned about your packaging's fight against heat, polystyrene may be your best option, with temperature resistance up to 200 F.
Amidst great benefits, polystyrene does have an Achilles' heel, its brittle. When it cracks it can shatter like glass. Not only is this potentially dangerous for human contact, but can damage other containers in shipment. Ordering product in full case quantities is encouraged to avoid scuffed or otherwise blemished PS bottles or jars.
Many well known polystyrene products are presented in a foam form. Expanded polystyrene is the result of what occurs when PS pellets are subjected to heat and enlarge several times beyond their original size. This foam can be framed specifically based on a container's shape, to safely surround and protect the product during transport, among its other uses.
On the off chance that you're still not sold on the everyday applicability of polystyrene, consider a weeknight's rush to a local eatery. After a long day at work you pick up some take-out food, unaware that this common experience would be completely decimated if polystyrene didn't exist.
Imagine that polystyrene doesn't exist. You're standing in line at your favorite take-out spot. There are no plastic or foam cups, disposable cutlery or foam to go containers. Hopefully you washed up before dinner because the server is about to spoon your chow mein into the only container they can think of, your bare hands.
Side effects of formal polystyrene education include urges to embrace plastic materials of all kinds and offer a hearty exclamation upon discovering the number six recyclable code. Don't worry this mania only lasts temporarily. Ease your PS fever by ordering your very own set of polystyrene jars and packers today.
