What is raw material for thermocol ?

Answer 1

Thermocol is made by blowing gas into Polystyrene ( a polymer Styrene CH2=CH-Phenyl ), due to which it expands into a solid foam like material called EPS or thermocol.

Answer 2

Thermocol Raw Material

Answer 3

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) or Thermocol is a generic term for polystyrene and styrene copolymers. It is a rigid cellular plastic foam material derived from petroleum and natural gas byproducts. The spherical beads of resin are subjected to steam, which causes the thermoplastic polystyrene to soften and expand up to 40 times its original volume. Each small bead of polystyrene is fully sealed.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is produced in a wide range of densities from 8 to 48 Kgs/M3 providing a varying range of Physical / Mechanical properties. These are matched to the various applications where the material is used to optimize its performance and strength.

Answer 4

Thermocol =EPS=Expandable PolyStyrene.
Thermocol is basically Polystyrene.
(Polystyrene is a polymer made from the monomer styrene, a liquid hydrocarbon that is commercially manufactured from petroleum. At room temperature, polystyrene is normally a solid thermoplastic, but can be melted at higher temperature for molding or extrusion, then resolidified. Styrene is an aromatic monomer, and polystyrene is an aromatic polymer. )

Answer 5

It is STYRENE, a liquid hydrocarbon produced commercially from Petroleum. Thermocol or Polystyrene is a polymer of Styrene.

wax can be made from different things. Petroleum is the most common but not very healthy to breathe in esp. for children or anyone with allergies. There is also soy wax and bees wax.
