Polystyrene is a thermoplastic polymer. The material has many advantages as it lasts for years and is easy to recycle. It is also suitable for food supplements and it is very affordable. That is why, it is often used in products such as disposable cups. Polystyrene is not suitable for outdoor use because UV radiation breaks down the material. Polystyrene is stable, impact-resistant, rigid, shockproof and easy to clean.

PS is often expanded polystyrene (EPS). This material is also known as styrofoam. Styrofoam consists of polystyrene with the addition of CO² or pentane. Whether extruded polystyrene (XPS) is made from it, this is insulating polystyrene foam. We laser cut polystyrene in both forms: expanded polystyrene and extruded polystyrene (XPS).
