When it comes to using plastic in manufacturing your products, there are many varieties from which you can choose. However, by far the most versatile plastic you use in your processes is polystyrene sheets. There are many reasons why you would want to choose this plastic as your main material.
Non-Reactive
Of course, all plastic is non-conductive when it comes to electricity, but when it comes to polystyrene, it does not react with any materials whatsoever. This means that there is no chemical reaction that can lead to an aging look or otherwise make it look unpleasant. Polystyrene always looks new so it makes great packaging material.
Rigidity
The fact that polystyrene can be molded into virtually any shape imaginable while at the same time maintaining a rigidity after manufacturing is complete makes it ideal for making a wide range of automotive parts. The rigidity also makes the products easier to use and handle and definitely adds to their durability.
Great For Food
When food needs to be packaged, polystyrene sheets molded into the desired form is always the first go-to solution for companies. The main reason for this is that the plastic provides a great way to insulate the food when it is being transported and it also is quite lightweight. This effectively makes it the most economical way to ship the products.
Hygienic
Polystyrene is capable of being sterilized quite easily. This is why it is commonly used in such things as medical kits and packaging.
