Product Overview
Expandable Polystyrene
Expandable Polystyrene EPS is polystyrene containing a blowing agent (Pentane) and comes in the form of beads. It has thermal insulating, impact resistance and good processability, making it widely used in thermal insulation, packing materials, and miscellaneous special applications. In addition to the general EPS grade — used for insulation blocks & panels, packaging, drinking cups, food boxes, pipe insulations, ice boxes, and shock absorbers — we also produce a Flame Retardant (FR) grade specifically for the insulation industry.
