Paints Based on Waste Expanded Polystyrene

Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology, 2010
A formula for making paint was developed using waste expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) as a binder. This method replaces the alkyd resin in most commercial paint, which is derived from the byproducts of refining crude oil. Experimental results showed that 27% waste polystyrene foam can be incorporated in the paint formulation.
