   The claimed R-value of Styrofoam insulation is approximately 5 °F⋅ft 2 ⋅h/BTU for 1 inch thick sheet. [7] Styrofoam can be used under roads and other structures to prevent soil disturbances due to freezing and thawing. [8] [9] DuPont also produces Styrofoam blocks and other shapes for use by florists and in craft products. [10]

   It is created by using small lightweight EPS balls (sometimes called Styrofoam) as an aggregate instead of the crushed stone that is used in regular concrete. [3] It is not as strong as stone-based concrete mixes, but has other advantages such as increased thermal and sound insulation properties, easy shaping and ability to be formed by hand ...

   The final pattern is approximately 97.5% air and 2.5% polystyrene. Pre-made pouring basins, runners, and risers can be hot glued to the pattern to finish it. [1] The foam pattern does not need to be coated with investment if high detail is not needed, simply putting the foam pattern in a box, filling with sand and vibrating will do.
