Thermocol contains an important thermoplastic compound, called polystyrene which is obtained by the polymerisation of styrene or phenylethene. The chemical properties of phenylethene are identical to polyethene. It responds very slowly to bacterial decomposition in the soil, thus making the soil infertile.

Answer:
Thermocol is a form of a complex material called polystyrene. It transforms into a liquid state on heating at more than 100 ºC temperature and returns to solid state on cooling. Due to this, we can give any desired shape to it. Being a good shock-absorber, it is used in packing of delicate items.
