Extruded polystyrene[polystyrene?:cnc ps/polystyrene cutting machine] is considered to have as much tensile strength as unalloyed aluminum, but is lighter and more elastic. Extruded polystyrene is the material used to make a variety of molded products that range from plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine] tableware to CD cases and model cars. Extruded polystyrene is also used to produce medical and pharmaceutical supplies.
Extruded polystyrene, is a type of insulation with versatile applications, such as the manufacture of surfboards. In fact, its buoyancy prompted the U.S. Coast Guard to adopt its use in life rafts. This type of polystyrene may also be used in building materials or in roadway construction. For example, extruded polystyrene may serve as a layer of insulation under pavement to prevent freezing and thawing of the soil below from cracking the surface.
Extruded polystyrene is a strong but lightweight material used for crafts that is usually sold in sheets. It typically consists of three layers, with polystyrene at the core sandwiched by paper[paper?:paper sample maker cutting machine] on either side. Extruded polystyrene is frequently used as backing to mount artwork or photography, or to construct architectural models. This extruded polystyrene is also familiar to those who work with floral crafts.
