Individuals are finding new ways and avenues of being creative. By taking mundane materials, they are now able to create products that are quirky and durable. One such material that allows you to be creative is polystyrene balls. These little white balls are not really balls, because they will not roll. However, they are great for a number of purposes.

Polystyrene balls are usually small polymer molecules that have been filled with air in order to increase their size. The polymers that are often used to make these balls are derived from the by-products of petroleum which are created through a refining and distillation process which requires a certain amount of expertise. However, once these balls have been filled with air, they can either be used separately or can also be joined together to create larger beads; they can also be shaped and molded into various products such as food packaging as well as foam building insulation. Thus, polystyrene balls are versatile enough to be used in a number of creative ways.

The polymers used to create these polystyrene balls begin as molecules (around 0.02 inches in diameter). These balls then undergo a steam process which helps infuse air into them to create a much bigger polystyrene ball. These polystyrene balls are commonly used in bean bags. It is usually said that in a regular polystyrene ball, the air infused into it is so great that it is responsible for a large percentage of the makeup as compared with the polymer itself. Polystyrene calls are also used by teachers for various art and craft purposes by adding colour and other materials to them in order to form various shapes and sizes.

You must be wondering what some of the main advantages are of polystyrene balls? Well, these balls are extremely lightweight. However, this does not mean that they are not strong and durable. The air that is infused into them gives them the necessary strength. While polystyrene balls are usually known for these advantages (it is also a low cost option), may people have also voiced their opinion that polystyrene balls do not have a long life cycle. These balls are prone to erosion and easy wear-and-tear, making them susceptible to early breakdown. Polystyrene balls are also considered to be quite a threat to the environment since it is pretty tough to recycle and can last for a significant amount of time in a landfill.
