Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is an ultra-lightweight yet rigid engineered material

2021.10.29

Traditional wooden beehives have been used in the past, although there are many problems in wooden hives, such as wood is vulnerable to decay, fungi and weather conditions. Also tried to use polystyrene foam (EPS) beehives, although EPS beehives have solved some problems of humidity and decay, but they are still not suitable for beehives. EPS material is not durable, will break when handling, and is not environmentally friendly. Is there a material that enables the hive to meet the requirements of long-term use intensity, adapt to changing seasonal conditions, meet environmental protection requirements, and adapt to different stages of the hive? have EPP material.
As a new type of environment-friendly lightweight material, EPP has excellent earthquake resistance and energy absorption, high recovery rate after deformation, high heat resistance, strong chemical resistance, excellent oil resistance, good heat insulation, lightweight, non-toxic and tasteless, and can realize 100% recycling! It is an ideal material for bee breeding box. The following figure shows the use scenario of EPP bee incubator abroad.
EPP product advantages
Although EPP has common characteristics with EPS, such as not affected by humidity, EPP hives perform better in strength, function and durability. EPP material has high thermal insulation and environmental protection characteristics (recyclable), and the box is integrated and not easy to deform. It can easily install ventilation pipes for humidity and ventilation control, bottom drainage, bee colony inlet, pollen collector, cavity separator and other components.
