EPS Expandable polystyrene
An expandable raw material used to make lightweight parts with a cellular structure, particularly for protection, insulation and moulding.
Application We start with what you need to manufacture
Process We review the intended processing method
Properties We define the relevant requirements

COMMON APPLICATIONS
Where is EPS used? 01 Protective packaging Moulded parts to protect appliances, electronics, food and other impact-sensitive products.
02 Construction and insulation Panels, blocks and solutions requiring thermal insulation with low weight.
03 Moulded parts Technical shapes and lightweight components produced by pre-expansion and moulding.
GRADES AND SELECTION CRITERIA
EPS — selection by expansion, density and end use
Variants to distinguish Standard EPS Grades for moulding and packaging with different expansion and processing characteristics.
Construction Grades for insulation and construction applications, including specific variants when the project requires them.
Flame-retardant Options for applications where fire behaviour is part of the specification.
Process optimisation Target density, pre-expansion, ageing and moulding cycle determine the selection.
