All the formulated resins were stable as gel. Physical properties such as density, viscosity, turbidity, refractive index, moisture uptake, melting points etc. were evaluated. The data obtained varies for different polystyrene products, probably because of different additives added during their production processes. The physicochemical analysis figures obtained indicate that they present themselves as potential binders for coating industry, as the values from were in agreement with the similar adhesives in the literature used for the formulation of emulsion paint.
