EPS, Expandable Polystyrene, is a lightweight plastic foam insulation material produced from solid beads of polystyrene. When manufacturing EPS products, tiny beads of polystyrene are expanded and consolidated in the process of steam heating and pressure treatment. When heated, the expanding agent enlarges the beads as much as 50 times, after which they are fused by pressure into huge blocks of EPS or into different shaped products by moulds. These blocks and shaped products bring lots of benefits to the construction and packing industries.
EPS products can be used not only as insulation material in roofs, walls and ceilings, but also as packaging materials for food, electronic equipments, home appliances etc.
