Expanded Polystyrene is used in various appliances including refrigerators, blenders, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, ovens, and microwaves. It is suited for it because polystyrene is non-reactive and remains stable when these devices are in use thus taking away all the possible ways of catching fire and make the devices long lasting.
EPS is light and durable and hence is used widely in the manufacturing of car parts like trims, door panels, instrument panels, knobs, and sound dampening foam. Polystyrene being inert and safe, can also be used in making the protective seats for children.
STYROFOAM is also used in electronic gadget manufacturing. Some parts of televisions, computers are exclusively manufactured using Expanded polystyrene. These are the parts that need to be flexible and fit properly.
