Polystyrene (PS) is a versatile synthetic polymer made from the monomer styrene. It is a lightweight, rigid, and transparent plastic widely used in packaging, insulation, disposable cutlery, and consumer goods. Its properties include ease of molding, good dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making it a popular material in everyday applications.
Setting up a Polystyrene production plant involves sourcing raw materials like styrene monomer, installing polymerization reactors, and ensuring utilities like steam, cooling water, and electricity. Additional considerations include storage tanks, quality control labs, safety measures, and skilled manpower for smooth and efficient operations.
