7. Advantages of styrene based polymer
Unique characteristics
Styrene-based materials offer unique characteristics of the following
Toughness,
High performance
Versatile design
Simplicity of production, and economy.
Excellent hygiene, sanitation and safety benefits
Superior insulation qualities for building construction
Styrene – safe for food package
Styrene is made naturally by various living things and is found in a number of foods, including cinnamon,
strawberries and nuts. Scientific studies have shown that the small amounts of styrene consumers may
be exposed to are not harmful; studies have also shown that, should exposure occur, styrene does not
stay in the body for long and is rapidly metabolized and excreted.
Food Service
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates food safety and the safety of food contact
packaging, has cleared polystyrene food packaging as safe for both hot and cold food and drink.
