Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Plants for Sale

Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid cellular form of polystyrene (PS) with good thermal insulation, shock-absorbing properties, high compressive strength, low weight and resistance to moisture. The largest outlets are in the building and construction sectors, where applications include foam, road construction, bridges, drainage, floatation and sound insulation. Another major application is in packaging, particularly for food and delicate electronics. Other uses include providing protection in crash helmets and as decoration in design work.  EPS is made in beads, which are produced in the suspension process by adding a blowing agent under pressure - usually pentane - that causes the resin to foam during moulding.
