Foam Cups Are Made From The Same Stuff Foam Coolers Are Made FromFoam Cups are actually made of something called Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), the same material we use at LoBoy to make our Foam Coolers. EPS is an amazing, space-age wonder of environmentally friendly science (if you don't throw it away, it is RECYCLABLE!!!) - a rigid closed cell plastic foam resin made from Polystyrene derived from crude oil. EPS is Polystyrene Foam that uses Pentane gas (C5H12) as a blowing agent. During the material production process called "Polymerization" the polystyrene resin granules impregnated with the blowing agent.
The EPS production process begins by pre-expanding the EPS bead. Expansion with steam will increase bead volume 40 - 50 times, depending on the required final density. Next, an aluminum mold is filled with expanded bead and heated with steam until they fuse together. The part is cooled with vacuum and ejected from the mold. The molds themselves vary from foam cups to foam coolers to wall insulation to material for tough, longer-lasting highway construction.
You can find videos online that show the manufacturing process, just as you can find videos and information on how to recycle any old, used, or scrap EPS foam you may have.

What will insulate better a foam or plastic cup?
Foam will insulate better than plastic.
What is hotter to hold paper or foam cups?
a foam cup i guess but what kind of question is that
How long does it take for water to boil in a foam cup?
It typically takes about 5-10 minutes for water to boil in a foam cup. However, caution should be exercised when boiling water in a foam cup as it can potentially melt or catch fire due to the heat. It is not recommended to boil water in a foam cup for safety reasons.
How long does it take to decompose a foam cup?
A foam cup can take hundreds of years to decompose, as polystyrene, the material they are made from, is not biodegradable and breaks down very slowly in the environment. Recycling or using alternative biodegradable cups is a more environmentally friendly option.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
Water will freeze faster in a glass cup compared to a foam cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than foam. This means that the glass cup will transfer heat away from the water more quickly, leading to faster freezing. Foam cups insulate better and will retain heat, making the freezing process slower.
How much mass does a foam cup have?
0.6
Why do you use a foam cup instead of a beaker in an experiment?
Foam cups are often used in experiments because they are inexpensive, disposable, and provide good insulation for maintaining constant temperatures. Beakers are typically made of glass and may not provide the same level of insulation as foam cups. Additionally, foam cups are lightweight and easy to handle, making them convenient for various experiments.
If boiling water was poured into a china cup and a foam cup which cup would feel hotter explain?
