• Expanded polystyrene


 

Expanded polystyrene...

 

...is a polymer that is impregnated with a blowing agent (pentane) which, when exposed to heat, expands to create a uniform cell structure.

Since EPS does not contain CFC's (chlorafluorocarbons), it poses no threat to the earth's delicate ozone, while its ability to be 100% recyclable means that it is environmental friendly as well.

EPS's versatility both in terms of its physical properties and design makes moulded EPS suitable for a large variety of products surrounding us in our daily lives.

Because Expanded Polystyrene consists of 98% air, it has excellent cushioning and insulation properties, making it an ideal medium for protective packaging and insulation. It is also non-toxic, odourless, non-allergenic and does not harbour micro-organisms.
