INTRODUCTION
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid and tough, closed-cell foam. It is usually white and made of pre-expanded polystyrene beads. EPS is used for disposable trays, plates, bowls and cups; and for carry-out food packaging (including the hinged lid containers popularly known as "clam shells"). Other uses include molded sheets for building insulation and packing material ("peanuts") for cushioning fragile items inside boxes. Sheets are commonly packaged as rigid panels (size 4 by 8 or 2 by 8 feet in the United States), which are also known as "bead-board".
Due to its technical properties such as low weight, rigidity and formability, EPS can be used in a wide range of different applications. Its market value is likely to rise to more than US$15 billion until 2020
Expandable polystyrene is available in a range of particle sizes from 0.2 to 3.0mm. and in shapes varying from round beads to ground cheinks of polymer. These particle are prepared either by heating polymer particle in the presence of blowing agent and allowing the blowing agent to penetrate the particle or by polymerizing the styrene monomer in the presence of blowing so that the blowing agent is entrapped in the polymerized bead. Typical blowing agents used in such processes are the various isomeric pentanis and hexanex, halo carbons or mixture of these materials.
