Re: Bad move imo

Polystyrene production came to a screeching halt because it's production had hazardous wastes, including dioxin. This brought most EU production to a halt. Recently, however, I have heard rumors of a factory in China gearing up for polystyrene production.

Polystyrene is supposed to have the shortest 'memory' of any dielectric, IIRC. Even better than teflon, which was the original reason CJ elected to build their custom caps from 'styrene. I do recall there were many problems when polystyrene product halted and CJ was forced to used alternate purveyors for their caps. Not all were as good as the original vendor (Southern/F-Dyne, IIRC).
