I'm guessing but none of the solvent based products would be advisable but
the 'non-solvent' water based 'no-nails' products should be fine.

I just popped onto the Screwfix site to get a product reference and on their
Adhesives & sealants index page they quote--

"Solvent Free Grab Adhesives. For internal high grab adhesion and gap
filling. Suitable for most materials, including polystyrene. ..."

Too short. Is this expanded polystyrene (foam), dense rigid
polystyrene or some other polymer ?

If it's foam, use a solvent-free (watery) cartridge. If it's rigid, go
for one with a solvent. If it really is polystyrene, then it's
probably clear glazing, in which case a butyl rubber mastic is
probably best, as some of the solvents can cause clouding.
