The polystyrene coating allows the dissolved oxygen to quickly penetrate the coating and reach the sensor. Experience has shown that silicone rubber does not absorb the dissolved oxygen as quickly as polystyrene. Polystyrene coated sensors respond faster to changes in dissolved oxygen levels than silicon rubber coated sensors.
