Expanded Polystyrene

EPS in Construction
Expanded polystyrene is widely used in the food, packaging and construction industries

What is Expanded Polystyrene?
Expanded polystyrene is a polymeric material also known as Styrofoam. The polymer is soaked in foaming substance. High temperature steam causes the evaporation of foaming additives and the puffing of polymer grains. The result is low-density, low-weight polystyrene.

Then, the polystyrene is processed in low pressure injection molding machines that use steam, water and heat to make molded products out of polystyrene flakes. Due to the molding process, the resulting products are excellent thermal insulators (as the puffy flakes are stuck together closely and prevent the passage of heat ), lightweight, resilient, energy-absorbing (shock-resistant), with low water-absorption and do not attract mold or fungi.
Available in various densities.
