Thermocol box is made up of polystyrene ,a kind of synthetic plastic which is a bad conductor of heat.
Hence prevents the flow of heat from surrounding air entering into box.
As it acts as insulator for transmission of heat, Ice kept in thermocol does not melt fast and retains coolness for longer time.

Thermocol act as a heat insulators . it isolate the environment between both hence ice cube melts slowly . Tharmocol do not let conduct the heat inside the box so temperature remains constant for longer time in the box & ice do not melt fast .
