Currently, the uses and/or applications of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) are diverse, this is because it is a material that is mostly composed of air (about 98%) and the rest of styrene. It has properties such as lightness, thermal and acoustic insulation, chemical resistance, compression resistance, resistance to humidity, etc. characteristics that make it become a versatile material for use in different industries such as the construction industry, packaging, food, and art industry. This text documents the different uses of EPS in each of these industries, as well as research and studies related to these applications and future perspectives that exist for this polymer.
