Polystyrene has been regarded as one of the most useful types of packaging in the industry. It has been long favoured for its lightweight and insulating properties, making it the packing material of choice. Not only is it beneficial for packaging products, but also for the transportation of products and their protection, from its ability to be moulded and fitted into a variety of shapes.
It is made from petroleum hydrocarbon particles that have been infused with air to give it its fluffy and lightweight texture and appearance. The manufacturing process of polystyrene produces a rigid and strong structure that is both durable and flexible. It is its high strength-to-weight ratio that makes it ideal for packaging and the protection of the contained products.
Its airy consistency also makes it suitable for moulding to suit your specific application.
The Advantages of Using Polystyrene for Packaging
Polystyrene foam provides several advantages for the packaging and protection of your products.
It is well known for its ability to resist moisture and keep your goods insulated. It protects against the elements, including rain, and will not rot, decay, or lose its effectiveness with exposure. It is able to insulate heat, as well as cold, keeping your goods in optimal condition. When used for building insulation, it also has the positive effect of keeping energy bills low and maximizing the energy efficiency of the building.
Its soft but rigid texture also makes it the perfect material for the transportation of goods as it is easily able to absorb shocks and vibration, protecting the product. It is commonly used in the electronics industry for this reason, and its use even extends as far as the meat and poultry industry, too providing the appropriate protection for the goods.
Its lightweight properties make it easy to handle and use. It is also environmentally friendly, reusable, and recyclable.
