Polystyrene Film is a thin sheet of the thermoplastic polymer styrene. The most common use of these films is in packaging applications. These films are extremely strong, transparent with a glossy finish. They are considered an attractive alternative in many film applications like lamination, cover for cartons, display screens & envelopes and printing. They are widely used for food packaging due to their ability to create a vacuum when stretched and some grades of films are approved by the FDA for direct contact with food. Due to their good insulation properties and stability towards temperature fluctuations, they are used in capacitors residing in electronic devices. Polystyrene films also find their use in testing the resolution properties of an infrared spectrometer. Polystyrene being an inert thermoplastic can be an environmental hazard when thrown away as litter after its relatively short useful lifespan.
