Heating Polystyrene
I have been experimenting with using reclaimed polystyrene as an art medium. I would like to shrink EPS for easier long-term storage by heating it to its glass transition point. However, I am worried about inadvertently releasing styrene vapor.
At what temperature will polystyrene begin releasing styrene vapor, and will it release large enough quantities to pose a threat to human and animal health?
